WE HAD A TALK ONE DAY,
ABOUT OUR FAMILY TREE.
ABOUT HOW I AM A BRANCH,
I AM NOT JUST A LEAF.
YOU SEE THE LEAVES,
THEY COME AND GO.
THE DON’T ALWAYS STAY,
WHEN THE WIND BLOWS.
LEAVES ARE LIKE FRIENDS,
GOD GIVES THEM FOR A REASON.
THEY ADD BEAUTY AND JOY,
BUT SOMETIMES ONLY STAY FOR A SEASON.
LIFE STILL GOES ON,
AND OUR JOURNIES CAN BE LONG.
SO TO STAND THROUGH THE STORMS,
WE NEED SOMETHING THAT IS STRONG.
DEEP DOWN ARE THE ROOTS,
THEY FORM OUR FOUNDATION.
THEY ARE ATTACHED TO A STURDY TRUNK,
WHICH GIVES BIRTH TO GENERATIONS.
ALTHOUGH IT’S FRUITS MAY DIE,
IT’S BRANCHES STILL REMAIN.
AS A FAMILY WE MUST NURTURE THEM,
BECAUSE THERE WILL BE PAINS.
WE ALL GROW TOGETHER,
IF WE GROW DEEP IN LOVE.
AND GOD, HE DOES SUSTAIN US,
BY SENDING REFRESHING RAINS FROM ABOVE.
LET’S NOT USE ALL OUR ENERGY,
ON WHAT’S NOT CERTAIN & ENDS THE CHAIN.
THOSE LEAVES, THEY COME AND GO,
BUT THE BRANCHES WILL REMAIN.
