As the twig is bent by Dori Bushee
As the twig is bent
so will grow the tree.
It is human nature
and our reality.
The twisted trunk
won't shrivel and die,
but finds a place
to reach for the sky.
No obstacles
will lead it astray.
With determination
it will find a way.
As the twig is bent
as in our life
we all encounter
a period of strife.
It is finally then
when we must be strong,
and follow our faith
and we will never go wrong.
