In a scattered forest,

a seed was sown.

A journey to freedom

to heal and grow.

Amidst the pain and suffering,

the growth of the seed began,

creating a new life of wholeness

and a voice that says, “I can.”

Like a survivor on the path to healing,

the tree struggles to flourish amidst the storm.

Its branches begin to reach the sky.

Once a heart of ice, now begins to warm.

A dark and cloudy sky

is now a bright blue.

Symbolizing that behind the lies

is a heart pure and true.

Through seasons of sorrow,

and seasons of hope;

the tree now stands tall,

no longer a spirit that can’t cope.

Some days are harder than others,

but the tree never fails to grow.

It’s become strong and free,

more than anyone can know.
