Smiles Poems...Thoughts to Ponder

The Tree of LifeThe tree of life is so like man, ever stretching to the skiesIts branches ever reaching upwards, as though to heaven aboveLike mans quest here on earth, to reach for that high unknownThe tree requires the staples of life, for its very existence hereBut man in his slight wisdom, knows these details all too clearThe tree roots, securely planted, are not allowed to roamBut mans feet here on earth. Have mobility all their ownUnlike the tree, man does possess a single separate entityA brain you see, though seldom used, a total shame indeedThe tree of life depends on man, for its daily lifes survivalMan depends on his own lifes skills to hopefully see his tomorrowWhich is a sad virtue, for his thinking process is not always clearHe makes good and bad decisions, its effects are not yet knownMan should take his lifes lessons, from the tree of life pursuitAs our single lifes true purpose, to reach for heaven aboveAs the tree stretches forth its limbs, ever skyward, in its growthWe should heed this very lesson, and praise the Lord aboveFor all that He has done for mankind and this our earth as well
