The Tree

The many things in life we’re taught 

Some for good and some for naught
We say its crazy but do the same
Enjoy the good then give it shame
So many dreams our hearts give birth
We gaze at them and give them worth 
Life gives us a tree of love
We pick its fruit before we’re dust 
It feeds our souls and as we will
We’re satisfied but never filled
Every morsel goes down sweet
We grow inside; it always keeps
It’s something that we can’t be taught 
Yet is profound and greatly sought.
