Life as a Tree

Imagine life as a tree.
Branches reaching high!
Hiding the dead ones.
Beautiful leaves.
Concealing the brown.
A storm comes.
Raging torrents blow the dead to the ground.
And gorgeous sheets of rain bring rejuvenating life.
Maybe lightning strikes
Tears a good healthy branch away.
Why? Why a healthy branch?
But the rain still brings life and hope.
Life and Hope.
Strength is restored!
And the remaining branches grow and stretch.
Closer to The rain clouds.
