    The Dogwood
    Once perfect and straight
    The dogwood tree
    Until they hung Jesus
    That fateful eve

    Dark clouds gathered
    And thunder roared
    The day the dogwood
    Held my Lord

    The flowers bestowed
    On the dogwood of now
    Shows how the blood
    That day ran down

    The beauty of the dogwood
    Yet, no longer tall
    Cause it held the Messiah
    To save us all

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
