Like God's dear children

Trees are green and full of life
Just like God's dear children
They grow greener and thicker Throughout their lives
Just like Gods dear children
For a while they say the same shade and same shape
Just like God's dear children
But then they start to stiffen and fade
Just like God's dear children
The colour and life begins to fail
Just like God's dear children
They slowly let go, and fall to the ground
Just like God's dear children
They disapear beneath the ground
Just like God's dear children
But the stem remains, strong and tall
Just likie God's dear children
It stands in silence for a time
Just like God's dear children
And then new life appears again
Just like Gods dear children
