A Beautiful Tree of Life

by Martha MacFarland

We are all divine beings growing in an orchard

Each one a beautiful tree of life

Deserving of the nourishing sun and fresh rain

To allow our roots to grow and make us sturdy

Regardless of the weather around us

We let our roots expand

We let our branches reach toward the sun

For we are an almighty being

Chosen to house this particular body and personality

To be present at this moment in time

To glean the lessons our soul desires to learn

So we nourish ourselves inwardly

Knowing we are never alone in spirit

For a divine energy connects us to mother earth

And we have the power to transmute

Any darkness around us

To lift it to the light and see it from a higher perspective

For we know who we are in truth

For we know what we are in truth

And we know how we serve in truth

We are part of an orchard

Ever expanding and growing

And it is our responsibility to nourish our strength

To be sure our tree of life flourishes and offers fruit

Reveling in the springtime sunshine and rain

And withstanding all harshness of winter storms

For our time is now

Not in the past

Not in the future

Only in this present moment

That we find bliss in our knowing

For we know who we are in truth

For we know what we are in truth

And we know how we serve in truth

We are all divine beings growing in an orchard

Each one a beautiful tree of life
