There's a tiny little seed that planted
A little seed of love
And how we watched it gently grow
Nurtured from above

A delicate little tree has sprouted
Of very tender leaves
We watch each tiny leaf unfurl
From all that we receive

Our little tree shall grow and grow
With strength upon each day
Until we shelter in it's shadow
In everything we say

This tree now represents our friendship
As we have watched it bloom
It's trunk will grow so very strong
To hold both me and you

It matters not if it shall be
Deciduous or evergreen
For it shall ever bud
With God's eternal love for you and me
