Came by and prayed before me;
Today a child approached and
Swung on my branches;
Tomorrow, I know, my roots
Strong, a lover will approach
And engrave her name, hurting me.
I am the tree of life, no matter
How hardy, tragedy may not but can
Be averted. I sing breezy
Songs under the Sun
And whistle the name
Of God when the wind
Blows; I am the tree of life
Forever offering myself
To humanity; I implore
Man to reject the violence
And kill none, not even me
Because I am the tree of life,
Forever one with my Maker,
Forever one with life,
Forever one with love,
The eternal tree of life!
