THE APPLE TREE

Some gather many apples
Others share the loot
Some reach up for higher prize
Struggle hard 
To reach a fruit

Some scatter seeds to barren soil
Some sew the seeds with care
Nurture more trees
Strong and true
With all their loving toil

Some waste the apples
Waste the seeds
Careless
Let them spoil
Others ever thankful
Glad
And good jams they shall boil

Some share the stumps with birds and bees
Others, thankless, throw away
Blown off by the mighty wind
To fester in the day

But the apple tree 
Bears well it's plight
Looks down on all
From majestic height
Observes us here
In all our forms
Sees hope and joy 
Sees greed and fight
It graces us forgiveness

Compassion 
And great love
Continues 
To bestow on us
Great bounty
From above
