The Tree
In memory of all the people who have died in my life in the past year.

There is a tree in God's garden,
It's branches reach out far,
Everytime a person dies,
A leaf grows on that tree.

A leaf was added to that tree,
On Janurary 25,
A young man's life was taken,
He was only seventeen.

Another leaf was added,
On December 21,
A young man's life was taken,
He was only seventeen.

Another leaf was added,
On January 15,
A young man's life was taken,
He was only seventeen.

Their families are so sad,
And so, as well am I,
But they are way up there now,
To see their Father in Heaven.

This poem is in Memory of my cousin Jordan, Who died on Janurary 25, 2006 in a car accident.
This poem is also in Memory of my friend, Matt, Who died December 21, 2006 in a car accident.
This poem is also in Memory of my friend, Dan, who died January 15, 2007 of brain cancer.
