Tree of Life

By draco5445

Life is like a tree
Every branch is a connection to someone else,

New ones grow while old ones die
But some of them just get cut off,

So now i look at the tree that is my life
And see that only a few branches are left,

The people that have stuck by me still grow closer
While the ones who forsaken me wither and die,

But one branch will live on no matter what
That branch is the strongest,

It is always growing and becoming stronger
That branch of my life will be here no matter what,

That i trust with all my heart
I pray that the branches left will be there just as long
