As the tree continues to live and grow <br />So it is with us a subject we should know. <br /> <br />Just as the leaves die and fall yet they do renew <br />So it is with us by a promise which is true. <br /> <br />Just as the tap root is the life line of the tree <br />So it is with us by the soul which came from Thee. <br /> <br />When our time comes to shed the external <br />Let us return to that which is the eternal. <br /> <br />Just as the tree will return to the sod <br />So it is with us except with God. <br /> <br />Let our growth be tall, strong and true <br />That our life's colors be pleasing to you. <br /> <br />When our time comes to finish this life's day <br />Renew us again as in the promise He did say.<br /><br />AHO Speaks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-living-tree/
