tree of life

i have all these thoughts in my head, in my heart. but i dont know where they go.

i feel like i have no outlet and they just continue to grow.

i suffocate as the walls close in, im shrouded in the darkness.

but then my daddy steps in, holds me close and softens all my hardness.

i whisper "save me, i need you now."

he says, "my dear i'll never leave. i simply dont know how."

in him i find safety, security and release,

in him i find my purpose and the reason i will never cease.

i will love him forever for he has always been

the only one beside me, through the thick and through the thin.

i am lost without him, but i am finding my way

he never will let go of me, in my heart he will stay

he is my tree of life, and i am his

we need each other to get through this

his roots drive down into my heart

never to be uprooted, torn apart.
