Oh Manu She Cried

Oh Manu she cried
I fell off my perch
For 30 long years
For a safe branch I did search

Some trees had weathered
Many a strong gale
How could I fly high
When my body was so frail

Often I slept
On a pile of twigs
As I had never been told
About the tree with Ripe Figs

Trees with thin branches
I fell off often
Believe you me
The ground did not soften

.......Manu looked at her intently
Observed every bruise
Then he spoke with compassion
"To be used, refuse"

"Conserve your energy
Plan wisely
A Unique individual
You were created to be"

.......he took her hand
Led her to The Eternal tree
Placed her on a STRONG branch
Here she knows security
