Our Mango Tree

A mango tree, God gave us free; Its fruits were very sweet; At seventy, it looked stately, And bore large fruits –a treat! The mammoth tree fell ill at times, But Nature healed it soon; It bore big fruits in many climes, And proved to be a boon. I’ve climbed the branches, plucked its fruits, And tasted them with glee; The tree had large a trunk and roots; We lived to love the tree. We thanked God for His pleasant gift That kept us happy much; The rented house, we had to quit, Gone was the magic touch. The separation was a loss; We had to bear the same; Today, it appears like our cross; But ’tis all in the game! Copyright by Dr John Celes 5-06-2015
