Once perfect and straight <br />The dogwood tree <br />Until they hung Jesus <br />That fateful eve <br /> <br />Dark clouds gathered <br />And thunder roared <br />The day the dogwood <br />Held my Lord <br /> <br />The flowers bestowed <br />On the dogwood of now <br />Shows how the blood <br />That day ran down <br /> <br />The beauty of the dogwood <br />Yet, no longer tall <br />Cause it held the Messiah <br />To save us all<br /><br />Lagaya Evans<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-dogwood/
