~ God I am your sapling
Let me take in your sunlightso that I may nourish my leavesAnd grow vibrant and green
Let me take in your rainsand let them soak into my roots beneath the ground
I will be nimble and bendMy branches will stretch and sprout budsWhile my roots hold me firm and planted
God I am your sapling
