Two trees stood in the forest wood
Growing together side by side;
From one came the manger where Jesus was born,
From the other the cross where He died.
So close together yet so far apart,
And really they looked quite the same;
Yet on one would He be adored by the world,
On the other would men curse His name.
One brought Him life and one brought Him death,
One held His little, sweet head;
One held the nails through His hands and His feet
And was stained with the blood that He shed.
Lord Jesus, I would bring Thee life;
Let me be a manger tree,
And cradle Thee within my arms,
Beholding Thy nativity.

Hi Nick Bowen,
I was looking for information about articles to submit when I discovered A Tale of Two Trees, certainly one of the finest blogs I have found!
But before I continue my search for articles to submit I want to say that your blog deserves a compliment!
Hi Nick Bowen,
A Tale of Two Trees is one of the really interesting blogs I’ve found during my search for info about articles for publishers. Although A Tale of Two Trees isn't exactly what I was looking for, I want to express my admiration, keep up the good work! While looking for more information about articles for publishers, I seldom see a good blog like yours.
