Tree of wonder
AN OLD CROOKED TREE
WITH ONLY ONE EYE TO SEE
TO SEE THE MEN
TO SEE THE WONDER IN THEM
FOR EACH LIFE OF WONDER
A LEAF WOULD GROW
FOR EAC SOUL THAT SURRENDERS
A LEAF WOULD SHOW
THE LIFESPAN Of THE PERSON
WOULD SHOW BY THE LEAF
SO EACH LEAF THAT FALLS
FALLS FOR A MAIN REASON
THE LEAFS THAT FALL
MOVE TO THE OTHER SIDE
TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WALL
WHERE THE WISDOM TREE RESIDES
SO FOR EACH WONDER LOST
FOR EACH LEAF GONE
THE TREE OF WISDOM
GROWS LARER AND ROBOST
SO YOU SEE THE TREE OF WONDER
DOES NOT LOOK AS GLISTTERING AS GOLD
BUT INSTEAD IS VERY OLD
IT’S A SIGHT TO BEHOLD
FOR IT HAS SEEN MANY GENERATIONS
EACH AVING A WONDER
THAT THE TREE PASSES OUT
AS WISDOM TO OTHERS.

When men die where do they all go to, how does wisdom spread, why are some tree crooked and ugly what do they mean. I look at the tree in my backyard and this is what i see. I see more than a dying tree, i see wisdom and wonder as I appreciate nature at its best.
