The Story of Trees

The Story of Trees
From the beginning trees have played a important role in life,
from the tree of life,
the tree with the forbidden fruit,
each story with a lesson to help us
along the journey to find strength to stand alone,
wisdom to stand together, and hope for life eternal through the cross.

One tree left
Once a forest now a field,
Once a thousand trees lived.
Now one tree is left, One tree standing by itself.
Once there were too many trees for me to be counting,
They covered the top of a mountain,
They were the earth's wealth,
Now one tree is left
One tree standing all by itself.
Trees were caught up in a blaze,
And if we aren't careful one of these days,
We will see one tree left,
One tree standing all by itself.

The heart of a tree
With branches reaching out as if for a embrace
The tree may bow to nature with grace.
He stands alone when the wind blows strong.
The leaves may fall, but the tree stands tall.
There are some things that the eyes can't see.
Like the heart of a tree.
In winter's cold chill, You can see the tree stand still.
Leaves are gone but the tree stands strong.
Until winter turns into spring and the birds begin to sing.
The leaves may fall, but the tree stands tall.
There are some things that the eyes can't see.
Like the heart of a tree.
Through storms and the wind. Bowing with a graceful bend,
Until the sun shines again, still standing at the end,
The tree is like a true friend.
The leaves may fall, but the tree stands tall.
There are some things that the eye can't see,
Like the heart of a tree.
The old Tree's secrets
How many lovers sit together under the old tree?
If only the tree could speak.
The stories would be of weary travelers
finding a place of peace, and dreams in their sleep.
Stolen moments of lovers, perhaps a sweet caress.
A young man with a ring, a young girl said yes.
Tree I only imagine, I enjoy the guess.
Gentle breezes that lifted the leaves
to let them gently fall to earth.
Misting rain to meet the tree's thirst,
Perhaps two trees inter-twined are
Two lovers that were curst.

The Oak

you will see one slightly bowed Oak tree.
The wind blows in the storms
against the Oak tree.
He bows slightly as if to acknowledge
the wind�s existence,
as if to let the wind know how strong he is,
his branches reach out to embrace nature,
The forces of nature rarely can do more
than lift his leaves, and scatter them,
so he can touch the earth as far
as the wind carries his leaves.
For they are a part of him.
His roots are deeply embedded
in the ground.
To be a Oak tree ,standing alone strong,
bowing before the forces of nature,
as the wind blows,
he stands strong ,un-yielding .
The one tree in the forest
that can stand alone.
The Oak Tree.

Flower

Mother nature wasn't ready to die,
In her old age,
She bore a flower, a beauty for God's eye,
In life God wrote another page,
He saw the flower rise from the hard crust,
A flower was born from the dust,
God is not through with us.

Mother nature had a tear in her eye,
She has felt the storm's rage,
But with God's power,
She grew a flower,
In life God wrote another page.

Who knows when it will be the end of time,
Maybe we are in our last hour,
But as long as God allows the sun shine,
Mother nature will grow another flower.

Planted by the Afghanistan woman's gentle hand
Almonds and apricots, cedar and cypress, pine and pistachio
Each seed brings a promise,
to a war torn nation,
Bringing forth trees.
to a barren land,
A hope for salvation.
a dream of peace,
planted by the Afghanistan woman's gentle hand.

In return she can feed her children.
and they can learn,
The world once again seems to turn.
toward a world of peace,
In a war torn nation.
bringing forth trees.
A hope for salvation.
a dream of peace
planted by the Afghanistan woman's gentle hand.
A gift given. that can grow,
Almonds and apricots, cedar and cypress, pine and pistachio
Seeking peace for the soul,
To a barren land.
Each seed brings a promise,
to a war torn nation,
Bringing forth trees.
to a barren land,
A hope for salvation.
a dream of peace,
planted by the Afghanistan woman's gentle hand.

so gentle so patient.
As she smiles in the gentle breeze,
her heart starts to feel sweet ease.
a dream of peace.
a hope for salvation.
in a war torn nation
In a barren land.
bringing forth trees.
planted by the Afghanistan woman's gentle hand.

For a country that bleeds,
she plants the seeds,
with a gentle hand,
The women of Afghanistan

Prayer for peace

Foreign winds blow across the sea,
Whispering bring peace to me,
The ocean brings sweet emotion,
that asks the storms to calm.
As the wind softly lifts the leaves of the palm.

The earth begs for wars to cease,
The wind whispers please live in peace,
The quest that God sends in the gentle breeze.

In the distant they play the war drum,
From the sky falls yet another bomb,
From the distance fires with another gun.
As we all search for where peace comes from.
With sweet regret for what war has done.

Rain falls and the earth bleeds
Washed away in the blood are life's seeds,
Mother earth begs and pleads,
For war to cease.
I join her on bended knees.
In a prayer for peace.
