Yew

the tree of Life
and of death...
it's poison fruit
will paralyse,
it's wealth
taken from the root..
oh Yew of faith !
from Adam's mouth
grew a  mighty
tree, and of that
seed we are saved
by Christ and his love
to set us free
from slaves of sin..
lets sit
in  the shade
of an ancient Yew...
where  ancestors sleep
recalling our vibrant seasons..
until
iced Winter sapps
our strength..
young crocus break through
heralding
life everlasting
