Upright from root to tip
Sap rising
From earth to leaf
Strength and flow
To trunk and branch
All aspiring upwards
Yet held firm on solid ground
Supporting all
To reach a higher power

May we follow your lead
And have pride of place
Standing noble to the day
Bending to a humble need
Showering grace
With fragrant blossoms
Scattering seed for a new start
Giving shelter to the weary
Whispering with tender touch
Of future things to come
Rooting us in truth
Guardians of a sacred space
