Tiny seedlings planted many years ago,
with love and nourishment they start
to grow.

Inching slowly from within, a new
life starts to begin.

As the years go by and these seeds are
now trees of strength standing tall.

A gust of wind beyond compare, can erase
it all.

And life is no longer as it had once been,
the seed has died that lived within.

A love that flourished for so long, is now
a memory played out in a song.

A broken heart aching with pain, this seed
no longer remains.

Like a forest in a hurricane, the tree of life
is sawdust and grain.

Taking away the life you've grown to know, and
leaving no more seeds to sow.

A love that once grew from this seed, now has
caused your heart to bleed.

And you can't breathe the way you did before, the
tree does not supply your oxygen anymore.

Losing at love and paying the cost, the seed is
gone and your life is lost.
