Tree on a Hill

Tree on a Hill

(Green Cross in the Sky)

Dr Abe V Rotor

Umbrella Tree (talisay) - Terminalia catappa, San Vicente, Ilocos Sur

You lost your crown, but not your glory,

     your function as umbrella tree;

a ladder leans abandoned and empty;

     is this symbol of man being free?

If this is lesson to remind of man's folly 

     and pride against the Almighty,

rise up on a Hill that was once holy 

     for all humanity to see. ~
