We're all individuals
But part of a tree
Some of us are leafs
And grow into green.
Others are seeds
That plant a way of life
Some of us are flowers
Growing beautiful, through strife.
Plenty are juicy fruits
Coming with the harvest to please
Then there are the branches
That carry them all and put them at ease.
The bark covers the tree
Protecting all that it is
And the roots grow deep into the ground
Keeping the tree from falling amiss.
We all grow towards the sky
But most don't make it that far
Will we ever reach the heavens?
Will we ever touch a star?
But whatever piece you are
No matter our differences
Were all a part of the tree
Past, future, and present tenses.
