Hello Tree of Life...What have you seen? Am I a Branch? Am I a Root? Am I a Seed? People with answers are leaving me.
Hello Tree of Life...What have you seen? Am I a Branch? Am I a Root? Am I a Seed? People with answers are leaving me.
****************************
You were full of love and full of life-For years you stood alone-away from human eyes surrounded only by the sound of creation's wondrous cries.
Did Little Lois venture from the farmhouse to follow the northward cow trails when she was five? Did she bring Susie back to see your arms that were fighting your neighbors for space in the sky ?
When Lois went away and started a new life-did you wait- wondering when she'd return?--Did your leaves feel her icy pain that desperate day when Ralph fell in the London Fog- so far away?
-Did she find you again seeking a friend? Or did You reach to her and ....Tell Me Tree of Life...What have you seen?
Am I a Branch? Am I a Root? Am I a Seed?
People with answers are leaving me

The years then slipped along without a human song..Across the way... far from her mind was a solid but hurting young man-whose own love had been broken by other people’s demands. His eyes did one day, chance to meet with those of Lois during a song in the street. It was a brief but poignant sharing -then a turning- made hastily to avoid an embarrassed glaring. But it was set in Stars and firm in Spirit and Soul...the time was right and Two Hurting Hearts had found a life they would give to each other.

Your branches did grow and you sang your Oaks cry as days weeks and years continued to roll by.
The day finally came unannounced, Roland and Lois would walk their way to you through thick snarly brush,other Oak, Basswood, and Ash, which could not hide your Centered Glorious Might. Through Sun Snow and Rain they would now lay claim to this place where your charms would calm all fears and alarms.
What did you think dear Tree of Life when Rolly and Lois with smiles of delight, tied red ribbons around you and your friends close to you?
Was there fear when the sound of a bulldozer plowed through your ground as saplings around you began to fall? Their burning must have sent fear through the veins you held dear “Was I next?” did you think your life was soon to end?
But that Red Ribbon marked you safe and precious -a Foundations Light that would in time mark a course for Five young charges not knowing their future.

You watched the shop give birth to an Idea and a Dream. Rolly's goal was not for fame or great financial gain-He simply wanted to provide a place where his children had the space to live and grow to find their own reward.
Our years under your protection were not always easy-upon reflection...
His Dream is now another person's Joy.

****************************
More of my Heart was asked to depart
when the Machines, Tools and Welders rolled away.
Now Where is my home?
Will I be there when you exhale your final breath-
Will you smile? Will You Cry? Will you wonder why?
You've been our Protection in this veil of tears and a window to the Creators Glory
It’s not that I thought You’d always be there-I just never thought of you being gone.
It's been you my dear friend from your beginning to our end..
