IF YOU CANT LOVE ANYONE AT LEAST LOVE YOURSELF, YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE DONT LET ANYONE CHANGE THAT, YOU ARE LIKE THE STAR THAT SHINES AT ITS APPOINTED TIME


 AN OLD CROOKED TREE

WITH ONLY ONE EYE TO SEE

TO SEE THE MEN

TO SEE THE WONDER IN THEM

 

FOR EACH LIFE OF WONDER

A LEAF WOULD GROW

FOR EAC SOUL THAT SURRENDERS

A LEAF WOULD SHOW

 

THE LIFESPAN Of THE PERSON

WOULD SHOW BY THE LEAF

SO EACH LEAF THAT FALLS

FALLS FOR A MAIN REASON

 

THE LEAFS THAT FALL

MOVE TO THE OTHER SIDE

TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WALL

WHERE THE WISDOM TREE RESIDES

 

SO FOR EACH WONDER LOST

FOR EACH LEAF GONE

THE TREE OF WISDOM

GROWS LARER AND ROBOST

 

SO YOU SEE THE TREE OF WONDER

DOES NOT LOOK AS GLISTTERING AS GOLD

BUT INSTEAD IS VERY OLD

IT’S A SIGHT TO BEHOLD

 

FOR IT HAS SEEN MANY GENERATIONS

EACH AVING A WONDER

THAT THE TREE PASSES OUT

AS WISDOM TO OTHERS.


The author's comments:

When men die where do they all go to, how does wisdom spread, why are some tree crooked and ugly what do they mean. I look at the tree in my backyard and this is what i see. I see more than a dying tree, i see wisdom and wonder as I appreciate nature at its best.
