The Tree of Sorrows

It is said by some religions that when we die before we are allowed to enter heaven God has us walk around the tree of sorrows and select a life we might have liked better than our own. After viewing others sorrows and misfortunes we find our life was not so bad after all.

tree of sorrows


Beneath the tree of sorrows her heart opened wide,
and she found the wisdom which had been denied.
She gazed upon the feelings which she never felt
and those sad hands of fate that others were dealt.

From beneath the tree of Sorrows she walked,
renewed, refreshed, to Destiny's wind she talked.
All life's heartaches and each bitter tender tear,
had vanished mysteriously so too had her fear.

Then somewhere across the Sky of Eternity,
that elusive vision of hope she now did see.
She smiled as she viewed those lives up above
and realized how generous had been the love.
