Strong and resilient, it weathers the storm,
A gift to the world which exemplifies life.
Our human existence of hardship and strife,
And hence, celebrating each victory won.
The evergreen thrives under warm winter sun
Renewal and growth from bygone days of trife,
Strong and resilient.

Regaining lost ground with our Lord's perfect form.
Where suspicion and cruelty overtook a world rife
With anger and hatred that cuts like a knife.
Love and compassion will save our souls torn.
Strong and resilient.
