Climbing The Earth
December 25, 2011
A single tree will stand alone, and bear itself on its own
It has to withstand the dark winds and help itself to defend
But with roots that are weak and nimble, the poor thing will always tremble
We may not have always had the fruit, but we still had our roots
And we may have our minds set, but our hearts will always dare to bet
I will never give up on you, even though I grew
Never let the sun beat us down, because it will always shed a frown
And watch our leaves flutter, because they are forever changing colors
