The family tree

by kevin   Jan 30, 2007


We were planting a family tree
the seed was planted unexpectedly.
when we were young i added water in the form of a kiss,
i didn't know then but god was granting a future wish.
for awhile we let it sit,
but i knew you had the ingredients to help me sprout it.

we were sprouting a family tree,
but it ended prematurely.
we worked on it for two years,
i didn't know how much i cared
i lost everything in a blink-of-an-eye,
i just had to step back and let my tree die.

the tree started as just friends,
i watched it grow to special acquittance's.
in the summer of 04
it sprouted and was hungry to grow more,
after a few months i realized,
god was telling me to open my eyes, so i promised to never let my tree die.

i was the water and she was the sun, people influenced me into believing that it couldn't be done, but to my surprise the tree grew in front of my eyes, it even bared a seed, but it died i figure because it was cold outside.

on 11-07-06,
the tree dried up like a fish out of water, there was enough sun but not enough water, i loved my tree but i was a terrible gardener.
it hurt to watch my tree die, but it hurt more to feel my heart die.
