Feel the Fruits to Grow The Roots

FEEL THE FRUITS TO GROW THE ROOTS

  Spirit of mine that came in my youthHas guided me closely to find out the truthThrough journeys of life where each cherry would growGiving me knowledge and cherry pips to sow. Each little lesson and each little seedNurtured me slowly to get what I needEvery hard knock grew a root in my lifeLearning to cope with the trouble and strife. Every tear shed trickling down to the rootsHelping my tree of life to grow fruitMoulding my senses and holding me tightShowing me colours of wonderful light. Holding on to childhood innocence and delightIts hard to hold on when folk steal your lightThe adult world can lead you astrayAs your cherry tree starts to wither away Then through my learning I grew stronger and yet!Knew that I had much left to give and much more to getBut before I could move on to that stage of my lifeI had to mend my own spiritual light. Spirit of mine who loved me the bestReturned to remind me not to stay vexedTo love everyone and try not to hateAnd protected my tree by building a gate. I wrapped ribbons round my tree of every hueScarlet and emerald and purple and blueTook crying as medicine as it watered my rootsAnd brought back my wonderful blossom and shoots Then I found people who felt a lot like meAnd joined in a workshop to learn about ReikiIt opened my branches and gave me insteadHelp with the journey that I have ahead. So from my heart I am sending my fruitTo anyone who’s struggling to grown their own rootsFor to understand everything you’ve got to beginBy looking after and loving your spirit within. I hope that everyone’s cherry tree blossoms this year!
