Grand Rising to the Baobab Tree, who grows towards the Heavens.
Oh how you angered the gods, as a result they turned you upside down. .
Thora plucked you due to your haughtiness, but God showed you mercy.
The decision to return you back to the ground, was a blessing and not a curse.
While the sun rises on your roots, God enabled you to bear fruit.
Your beauty is not hidden as the gods intended, for God gave you a new purpose.
Awkward in shape, your branches are sparse, but your trunk carries supernatural properties.
The Elders gather around you to commune with the spirits of the ancestors.
Before you only had glamor, but now you are a source for wisdom.
People walk to you for advisement, you serve a role to all who seek enlightenment.
What an awesome tale you tell, of how arrogance changed your fate.
As the sun rises in the Savannah, wake up knowing you have been forgiven for your mistakes.
Every morning is a new day to thank God for your deliverance and how He set you free.
Even when life forces you to take your punishment, God is still right there besides you.
Your end, is not an end unless there is no longer any more life to live, but as long as you are living seek
God’s will and God will create a new plan for you.
Grand rising to the Baobab Tree.
Your message is more important, because you serve your sentence under the dirt.
But, you are more truthful and you are a hearth to those who need to reach Heaven.
