Love, Life and a Tree

A tree set high on a hill
Reaching ever higher
Touching the sky
A tribute to GOD
A promise to man
Without it's grandeur
Without it's strength
The hill would be barren
Like life without love

Love is like a tree
It starts small like the seed
With nurturing and space
It grows with each passing day
Should the leaves of a tree
Turn brown and fall to the ground
It is only a sign of change
Change that leads to new growth

Love never dies
It may wither on the outside
But inside it stays forever
Each season brings a change
Each age a new face of love
And once in a lifetime
A person finds a love like the evergreen
That stays alive and new forever
