A Tree Of Life

I'm rooted in the firm belief

that there is more than this to come

Find balance in the gentle peace

that when we die, that we aren't done

Bury my hope in what remains unseen

a promise of rebirth

So, I dig my roots, as far as I can reach

building a foundation with some girth

My body willingly yields to change

knowing that life evolves from death

I trust that changes I have made

will grant the gift of my next breath

That each new blooming flower produced

extends the life of someone else

No matter the soil, turbid or abstruse

we will push on, nevertheless

The hope and possibility

that we are meant for more than this

That we've been given the ability

to receive eternal bliss
