We Are Like Trees

We Are Like Trees

We are like trees

Our roots go deep

Even as our branches are lopped off

By life and love and loss

Our roots go deep

And try to hang on

To every bit of life

Every drop of love

And even when it appears

That we are dead or dying on the outside

The scent of love's rain will revive us

And make us stand up on the inside
And reach out for life again.

Job 14:7

“For there is hope for a tree, If it is cut down, that it will sprout again,

 And that its tender shoots will not cease.
