We Are Like the Tree


look at this tree.

isn't much like you?

does it not start as a seed then grows into a tree?

so don't we?

look a little closer and you will see how we are like the tree.

as it grows it starts to grow branches.

the branches represent the people we encounter.

when a branch is taken away it means that someone has left us.

but a new branch is grown and some else has taken their place.

the leaves are who we are.

no two trees are the same, each with different branches and leave

aren't we like that too?

when autumn comes and the leaves change

that's the troubles we come across 

but one thing the does is that it doesn't hold on to the problem 

it deals with it but when it's done it lets it go to let a new left grow 

we are like the tree 

we just have to look
