Life is a tree, growing as it will and how it will. Change is a part of life, and as we change we grow.

Woe unto me

and woe unto thee.

Listen and speak not.

Keep to your own lot,

and be without spot.

Take heed to what

you have been taught.

Seek compliance

as an alliance.

Do what you will,

but don’t let pride spill.

Revenge is not the key,

so just let it be.

Soon they will see

that life is a tree

and nothing can change

what it is and how it grows,

neither which way the wind blows.

A person can change,

but only if willing

and only with feeling.

Step by step is how things come to be,

little by little just like the tree.

It takes years for each tree to sprout

big and stout.

Woe unto those without the notion of change

and woe unto those that think its strange.

To understand life is to

understand change

and in what range.

    That’s very true. Life’s like a tree, as we go through changes we grow. Great poem.

    I love trees. I think they are God\’s greatest creations. Haven\’t met a boy yet that has not climbed one.
