PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

You were just a little sprig
When we brought you home
We put you in the yard
To prosper and make it your own.
Through the years
You became a strong provider
The shade that you cast
Was so much better than the rest.
You helped make us all seem secure
Stood your ground
Even when the winds
Were blowing all around
Season after season
You cast your presences
Way up in the sky
Till the lightning caused you to die
Protector till the end
You saved our home
While our son was there
He was in the house alone.
Thank you, Thank you
We will not forget our loss
Everyone finally understood your sacrifice
After finding one your roots shaped like a cross.
