Legend of the Dogwood Tree
When Christ was on earth, the Dogwood grew To a towering six with a lovely hue.
Its branches were strong and interwoven And for Christ's Cross its timbers were chosen.
Being Distressed at the use of this wood, Christ made a promise which still holds good:
Not ever again shall the Dogwood grow ..to be large enough for a tree, and so
Slender and twisted it shall always be With cross-shaped blossoms for all to see.
The petals shall have bloodstains marked in brown And in the blossoms center a thorny crown.
All who see it will think of me, Nailed to a Cross from a Dogwood tree.
Protected and cherished this tree shall be A reflection to all of my Agony.
