A seed was sown
By someone unknown
A mighty tree has grown
In time unknown.
Its leaves have fallen
And are blown
Away by the wind of heaven.
Its absence I had felt
When I was alone
Looking for a shade
To find its shadow gone.
"The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field: The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass... but the word of our God shall stand forever." Isaiah 40:6-8
"But now they desire a better country, that is an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city." Hebrews 11:16
