The Tree of Life
February 7, 2012
Who am I?
I am an apple tree It all starts from a small seed
Then slowly I grow big and strong
The great big trunk of the tree is my body
The fresh verdant oval shaped leaves represent my hair
The stiff brown branches are like my arms
And my legs and feet are the long scattered roots
And finally my bright shiny scarlet apples
They are a beacon of my love
One for each and every one
My friends, my family, and the people I love
The apples represent a deep, strong bond
The longer my friendship is, the bigger the apple grows
The stronger the love is, the sweeter my apples become
Sometimes friendship and love are lost, that’s when my apples drop
This shows the deep memorable scars of my love and friendship
All the bad and rotten apples one by one descend to the ground
Leaving me lighter and free to carry new apples
I am an apple tree
