The Tree
As I walked down the road thinking,
How all hope had abandoned me...
I came up on a pitiful sight~
A bent, lonely and broken tree.
Tears fell from my eyes,
As I reflected on my life...
How much I felt like this tree~
Pitiful, broken and full of strife.
I sat down at the base,
Closed my eyes and begin to pray...
"Dear Lord, why did I give up.
And allow the strings of my heart to fray?"
He answered with a whisper,
Like a soft and gentle wind...
You turned away from Me, my child~
But I promise this isn't the end."
He then went on to tell me,
To look at the top of the tree...
So I tilted my head skyward~
And saw two lovely green leaves!
Then God said "when you think you're alone
And feeling lonely broken and bent...
Look up to Me for reassuranc~
For My love is Heaven sent.
And like the two leaves,
That you now see...
I will ALWAYS be with you~
Especially when you're a broken and bent tree.
