Like a naked tree in winter, I wait for the sunshine of spring Existing but not flourishing Living but not growing Vulnerable but standing tall Finally his sunlight appears and my withered branches reach for it Trying to soak up all the sun at once Finally his refreshing rain appears to quench my thirst If you watch closely you can see my rejuvenation from the inside out And then fall comes I know it's coming, he has to go again And winter sets in Leaving me naked and vulnerable I can only stand where I was placed I can't go to him Only he can bring the changing of the seasons to me My day is like the never-ending changing of the seasons Fall, I know he's leaving soon Winter, that cold few moments when I realize he's gone Spring, I hope he brings me sunshine and renewal Summer, his sun appears and brightens my face

A Year in the Life of a Tree
Like a naked tree in winter, I wait for the sunshine of spring Existing but not flourishing Living but not growing Vulnerable but standing tall Finally his sunlight appears and my withered branches reach for it Trying to soak up all the sun at once Finally his refreshing rain appears to quench my thirst If you watch closely you can see my rejuvenation from the inside out And then fall comes I know it's coming, he has to go again And winter sets in Leaving me naked and vulnerable I can only stand where I was placed I can't go to him Only he can bring the changing of the seasons to me My day is like the never-ending changing of the seasons Fall, I know he's leaving soon Winter, that cold few moments when I realize he's gone Spring, I hope he brings me sunshine and renewal Summer, his sun appears and brightens my face
