Michael Collins 
The Tree 

the Tree is a story of a tiny seed that grew to be a great tree. This wonderful tree became a very sad tree, as it was fashioned into a symbol of suffering and shame. Still it again became a wonderful emblem, an icon to remind all men of our freedom purchased on this tree.

For over two thousand years it remains. Today, anywhere you travel you may see a symbol of that tree, a tree that will live forever in our hearts as long as earth remains.

Hearing Gloria Gaither’s story of a tragic, deadly storm to the difference of Jesus’ passing by first inspired Michael to write. He began writing for family, friends, and civic events. Michael’s stories and poems have been printed and quoted locally at civic events, memorial services, and local newspapers.
