The Tree of Life

She held hope in her outstretched hands.

Kneeling gently on the ground, She prepared herself for what she knew she must do.

The cool water trickled through her muddy fingers, And the soft, black earth felt comfortingly warm on her palms.

Planting the tree of life would mean a new beginning, the opportunities were endless...

Feeling the excitement course through her quivering body, she lowered the tree of life into the small hole she had prepared.

It was time...

1 month had passed, the tree was 7 times its size, probably even bigger!

It had 3x the leaves, they were a nice warm green.

She checked on the tree every day, it was almost as if the tree of life was her best friend.

The tree was very delicate, the lushes green leaves sometimes light up when it can feel the energy around it.

Quite often she rushes her warm fingers through the waterfall behind the tree, the waterfall contains a special tree growing potion, it also helps the leaves grow a special power and stay healthy.

The only person who knows about the tree and its powers is Lily, Lily is a 14-year-old girl that lives with her family in florida.

Lily has kept the tree a secret for a while now. 

The tree has a power that, when the wind blows some of the leaves blow with it.

Some of the power drains out of the leaf and spreads across its path,  you can't see the glowing leaves unless you have the ability.

As far as Lily knows, she is the only one with the ability.

She sometimes thinks about what would happen if she told anyone, Maybe they would tell other people, Maybe they would keep it a secret.

She wouldn't know, so she has promised herself to keep it a secret unless she needs to tell anyone. Lily thinks the tree may not grow any larger, she often says to herself "we'll find out soon".
