The Tree of Life

Lay it clean out there with time-honored rationing,
There in a cube with a name plate worth fashioning.
But resist and be pure, show temptation restraint,
That office light’s sparkle exists for a saint.

To prosper and grow is the nature of living, 
But the tree of life offers familial giving;
Still cherish that love, know the knowledge has worth, 
These set in stone values from the date of your birth. 

The talents you offer shall further with time,
Dedication and effort will develop these prime,
But a challenge brings hope through correction and action,
And that hero’s sworn oath boasts a must-see reaction.
