A Beautiful Tree of Life
by Martha MacFarland
We are all divine beings growing in an orchard
Each one a beautiful tree of life
Deserving of the nourishing sun and fresh rain
To allow our roots to grow and make us sturdy
Regardless of the weather around us
We let our roots expand
We let our branches reach toward the sun
For we are an almighty being
Chosen to house this particular body and personality
To be present at this moment in time
To glean the lessons our soul desires to learn
So we nourish ourselves inwardly
Knowing we are never alone in spirit
For a divine energy connects us to mother earth
And we have the power to transmute
Any darkness around us
To lift it to the light and see it from a higher perspective
For we know who we are in truth
For we know what we are in truth
And we know how we serve in truth
We are part of an orchard
Ever expanding and growing
And it is our responsibility to nourish our strength
To be sure our tree of life flourishes and offers fruit
Reveling in the springtime sunshine and rain
And withstanding all harshness of winter storms
For our time is now
Not in the past
Not in the future
Only in this present moment
That we find bliss in our knowing
For we know who we are in truth
For we know what we are in truth
And we know how we serve in truth
We are all divine beings growing in an orchard
Each one a beautiful tree of life
