Imagine your life like a tree.....A seed planted on the ground
(the sperm and ovum join)
The seed begin to grow
(tiny foetus swim around in mum's body)
Seed "pop" out from the ground
(baby deliver out from mum's vagina)
Seed open to meet the world
(little baby open his eyes to see the world)
Seed feeds by sun, waters and photosynthesis
(mum feeds his little baby from her breast)
The tiny seed turns into a little green plant
(baby grow taller everyday into a boy)
The little plant grow to have roots, trunks, branches, twigs and leaves
(the boy learn all the ways of life in moral, discipline, behaviour, talking, walking...)
Inch by inch the little plant errect to be a bigger tree
(little boy growing each day to be a bigger man)
Beautiful, proud and strong the tree standing on the ground
(handsome, confidence and vibrant the man standing on the world)
Birds, butterfly, animal greet the tree
(friends, family, relatives meet the man)
Fungus, worms, weeds attack the tree
(age, enemies, sickness destroy the man)
The tree turns into snag, lonely, old and dying
(the man turns into old man, solitary, retired and fighting breath)
Debris the tree has become, lying on the ground.....
(funeral was held for the man, lying on the coffin with no sign of life.....)
