Cypress Tree Of Life Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

This Cypress tree of life, perfectly lying upon a
wooden cross, representing Jesus dying, giving up
His life to save each of us.

An appropriate symbol filled with hope, promise
and an unconditional love from above, reminding
us all to serve Him only.

Branches reaching heaven, touching God's heart,
it's roots firmly ensconced within earth's life-
giving soil.

Through the years being nurtured and nourishing
our lives daily with it's heavenly essence and
aroma.

This beautiful memorial of God's love standing
fast, just like our belief in Him is manifested
in the faith of our inner spirituality.
