My Tree

Of love

Of life

Of green growing trees

All age and so on feel pain



Hurting another

Cause pain to thyself

But not knowing so

Until the deed is done



Walking away

All in a sluff

Adding to my depression

My personal grief



One tall standing tree

Strong and held

Slowely is chipped away at

And ever falls apart



So sorry to see the tree fall

A tiny rose blossom tries to life the tree

She cannot though for

The tree won't move



Trying still

The rose is weak

She to is wearing down

But won't give in



She knows she can do it

But the tree must help

He must find strength within him

And try lifting himself



He will rise

And be the mightiest tree

Standing strong and tall

But still feeling pain



This little rose blossom

Looking upon this fallen tree

Sees all this as she stands

She believes in the tree



The tree however

Feels as though he may never rise again

But our little rose knows different

She knows he shall one day rise



Rise up so tall

That he may forget her

But she will never forget him

He has left a mark on her from his fall



Sad dear little rose

Thinking of that day

Knowing it will come

Hoping things can change



This little rose hopes

That her dear tree

May be so strong to lift himself

She is not needed in his life



She knows this

And so moves on

Someday they shall meet once more

And that makes all of the difference to both
