Children...and trees.

Some things just don't grow up straight including trees. When they don't grow up normal, they get twisted and turned. This tree grew up from the ground...not knowing which way to grow. So it grew up in three or four different directions.

Some children have and are...growing up this way too. They are not being trained in the right way and when they grow up...some spend many heart-breaking years trying to 'find themselves'.

This tree has a good reason to be this way...it is a Mesquite tree. They are all like that.
But the children...they don't have to grow up that way...not knowing which way to grow. They can be trained.
