The Tree Of Desires Poem by John McClay

I made this world
A world for you
A place filled with love
A place only we knew

And in this world
That you inspire
On top a hill,
The tree of desires

This tree of desires
Grants the wishes of the pure
Protects the innocent
Provides every cure

I asked the tree
To fulfill my dreams
Of life and love
And all in between

The tree spoke in a deep voice
And told me this:
'I cannot grant you what you have,
I cannot grant you bliss'

I did not know what he meant
His message I did not see
I pondered his words a top the hill
In the land for you and me

'The land for you and me'
In my mind these words flew
I understand the me
But what about the you?

It was you
Whom I made this world for
I thought I had nothing
I thought I needed more

But I have all I need
I know it's true
I have my everything
It's always been you
