The Tree of Life

James Vincient Johnson 1952 (Algoma WV)

The Tree of Life

I have heard talk about the Tree of Life
It was somewhere in the Garden of Eve
Supposedly
I have often wondered why it wasn’t kept
To rid these modern-day ailments
Permanently
If this particular tree existed back then
What would happen if I found it again
Honestly
Would we be better with the tree
Or free to be still blind to Thee
Obviously
