Life as a Tree



If A tree grew straight,
it would be a stick.

To grow, there must be twists
turns, knots, and blooms.

A tree does not look back and say,
"Oh, if only I had not turned that way..."

For it knows that it must turn
to reach the sun,

To become the tree
it is meant to be.

Not a duplicate of the trees
that came before.

Rejoice every twist, turn,
knot, and bloom,

For it makes the tree stronger,
resilient, and more beautiful.

The actual act of growing thus LIVING,
Creates a maze of interesting unique beauty.

-You are a-maze-ing!!
