Analysis of The tree of Life
Life is like
Planting a seed
It grows strong roots
so that it firmly stands
It branches spreads
Through the skys
It takes time to grow
And bears fruits
Which satisfies many hanger
Even from generation to generation
But a good seed
Planted on a bad soil
Fails to germinate
A seed planted needs
The air, water, light
Time, care and protection
Before it can be cultivated
for nothing comes
Out of the blue moon
You don't plant olive tree
And reap grapes
You shall surely
Reap what you sow
