The Tree and The Orchid
The branches that reach out, you are my tree
With your green leaves the beckon our life
And yet so strong you are able to block all strife
But with everything you must feel and never see
But with roots that sink deep is understanding
You sit there and stand strong as the for rain
You take its advice, but even you must feel pain
And yet you are never to rough, to demanding
I am the orchid and I need you, I always did
I wrap around and make secure, never forsake me
Can you hold me up and support, be my tree
For even through pain can I still be your orchid
