Trees Outstanding

Each day, life plants seeds,
waters them alive with souls;
flowers bloom like love,
love wilts like flowers.

Each day, the sun does its best,

earth keeps intact, keeps spinning on track;
the cycles turn, we continue to yearn,
we grow towards the maker:

We, with our winds never landing.

We, with our branches ever-expanding.
We, the trees outstanding.
