As the small tree was planted a story was told
How the roots are weak because it wasn’t very old
It will take some time with love and care
To make the roots strong so it could bear
The branches reach out toward the beautiful sky
If it could talk it would just start to cry
Because there was a person that took the time
To make it strong so it could begin to shine
So if you wonder how this fits my life
For the love that was given wasn’t from a wife
This old man has grown to learn the true facts
On how a person gave to get me back on the right tract
I may not be well know or in the spot light
But because of a gift I turned out just right
