Tree of Life

I will make myself stronger;

To weather storms;

Become the tree of life itself if I must;

To give you shelter and respite,

An opportunity to grow in relative freedom;

As my parents and loved ones did for me

No life is completely free of traumas my child,

The objective is to show you what is possible than not,

So that you may one day provide shelter to those who need it,

Then look out yonder,

At the forrest of your forefathers,

And, not be afraid to set down your own roots,

To begin the difficult task of building and nurturing,

A forrest of your very own.
