The Tree

Зойкино
      It was once upon a time,
      There grew an ancient tree.
      It had traces on it's bark -
      They contained the history
      Of the times when people lived
      Being lost and drowned in sin.
      There lived the Man with super will
      Which new life was to begin.
      In a desert that tree grew
      Seeking water from the sands.
      Who could tell it would be true,
      The tree'd be held by Savior's hands?
