This tree, solid and deeply rooted.
This tree, dependable; present through the seasons.
This tree, bearing fruits with which hungry stomachs are comforted.
This tree, providing the comfort of shade from the heat of the sun.
This tree, providing the comfort of home for the nesting birds.
This tree, who looks after you? From where do you get your comfort?
It is from your maker. The one who causes the sun to shine upon you.
The one who made you with deep roots that not only keep you grounded, but enable you to keep reaching for the nutrients to sustain you.
The one who adorned you so beautifully so that you’re appreciated and looked upon in wonder.
Remember how beautifully the birds sing from your branches?
Remember the gratitude of those resting under your shade?
Remember the cosy feeling in those who use your branches for warmth?
Remember and know that you are made for this.
Remember that you are loved by the one who created you and it is from this love that you give yours.
