The Apple and the Tree

The Apple and the Tree

The apple and the tree,

A metaphor for you and me,

The way it falls but never far,

It’s accuracy is pretty on par,

Like father like daughter is what they say,

The truth in it is astounding in every way,

Life can be daunting and harshly so,

It helps to have one person to know,

That when my demons come in hooded veils,

Someone is there with no need for details,

Someone who understands what can’t be understood,

To have guidance and a helping hand that would;

Guide me through the darkest parts of my own mind,

Give Words of affirmation that are neither harsh nor kind,

Lend An ear that listens when no one else will,

Have A heart that understands what I feel,

When I can’t make sense of why I am this way,

I am reminded that like father like daughter is what they say,

I am reminded of the apple and the tree,

And how that is a metaphor for you and me.
