Life
Our life starts as a small stone, built by love and trust It grows slowly, gathering strength and love along the way. Out of this, springs a seed, that grows into a small tree. This slowly grows, as our lives take in new experiences. The trunk is our childhood, brought up in love and ideals. As we learn new experiences, it grows stronger. When we are strong enough, we start to branch out. These are our thoughts, joys, relationships, and hope. For each one represents, a new beginning. Most grow stronger, leading us to new paths. Some wither and die, for these were not to be. For our life is built of many things, These are the leaves, growing, gathering new life. As these wither and die, they spread to others, So, that, even though we are just one soul, We share our lives with others, Dropping down and giving of our selves, May we always give a part to another, That we may enrich others, as they have us.
