The lost Eternity Tree is found
In gardens of the Puget Sound,
And other places too, I'd guess,
Reflecting Eden's loveliness.
It's just that we're too blind to see
His vision of eternity.
The wind may blow the old growth down,
But little sprouts will soon be found;
Or that same wind may gently put
A seed where it can soon take root.
God's plan is wonderful and true;
Not all revealed to me and you.

Joyce Johnson 2001

(Inspired by one of Trillium's lovely poems.)

Simplicity, God's way of perpetuating life.  This is another lovely poem, Joyce.  You really are an answer to many a prayer.

Yeah, isn't Trillium an inspiration?     
I think this was a great poem, the simple scheme made it flow rather nicely.  I also like the title, kudos on that.
