Moored to the trunk, I stand
Buffeted, yet strong, I stand
In belief, I stand
Rooted, forever I stand
Blown by the storm, I float
Tossed around, yet I float
In hope I float
Blown, momentary I float
Bruised, I land
Torn, yet I land
In faith, I land
Hurt, bewildered I land
Rested, I melt
Decayed, I melt
In time, I melt
Absorbed, forever, I melt
