THE LITTLE ONES
Tree of Life
Your branches are the ladders
For the little ones,
Your branches are the swings
For the little ones,
They know no fear.
Tree of Life
Through every season
Little ones know your name.
Through every season
Little ones rest upon your back
And feel the safety of your breast.
Tree of Life
Every year you grow taller
Little ones growing with you,
Every year you change
As little ones change with you
And return to rest upon your roots.
Tree of Life
You remind me
To be a little one
You invite me
To be a little one
And surrender my fears again.
