Song of Solomon 7:7,8

Next, he speaks about his desires for his wife. He says that she seems as tall as a *palm tree.

Of course, she was not really as tall as a tree! The *palm is an especially tall tree. And near the top, it carries its fruits. The fruits grow in huge groups. They hang down in the same shape as a woman’s breasts.

The *palm tree produces very much fruit. And the man wants his wife to have many, good results from her life. He wants her to have children. And of course, he wants her breasts to provide plentiful milk for them.

It is very difficult to climb a *palm tree. The person who climbs it must be brave! This man will be like the person who harvests fruit. He will achieve the best things that his relationship with his wife can bring. He knows that they will have problems and difficulties. But such matters do not frighten him. He considers his wife to be so wonderful that these problems seem unimportant to him.
