tree

was a tiny little nothing of a spec once
fallen from the branch where i was born
to the earth where i was pushed into the ground
darkness covered my small self
days and nights i dreamed of Light
one day sun peeked in
i stretched at the sight of it
drops covered me
soaked i grew and grew
face to the sky what things i saw
In praise i threw out my arms
rooted in dirt yes
but not unable to dance in the wind
breathing life in and out
reaching upward
making shorter the distance from me to Him
hope and expectation filling me
that one day we would embrace
