"THE TREE"
OUT OF ALL NATURE"S WONDERS, JUST LEAVE IT TO ME,
TO "REQUEST" THAT MY POEM'S TO BE WROTE OF A "TREE"!
ON A HOT SUMMERS DAY, WHEN THERE'S HARDLY A BREEZE,
THERE'S NOTHING REFRESHING, LIKE THE "SHADE" FROM THE "TREE".
THEY'RE TAKEN FOR GRANTED,ALL THE BEAUTY THEY SHARE,
NOT MANY WILL NOTICE, THEIR "WARMTH" AND THEIR "FLARE".
THERE'S ALL SHAPES AND SIZES, SOME"FULL" AND SOME "THIN",
SOME WILL GROW LARGE LEAVES, SOME SMALL AS A PIN!
MOST ARE ABUSED, BY THE BLADE OF A KNIFE,"CARVING" OF NAMES, COULD CAUSE "TREES", SHORTER LIFE.
THE "DRAINAGE" OF SAP, TURNS WHITE LIKE A PASTE,
"EVENTUALLY", NATURE WILL THEN BECOME WASTE!
AS "CHIDREN",WE CLIMBED THEM,, AS "TEENS", WE CARVED WORDS,
AS "ADULTS", WE ENJOY THEM,........THEY'RE HOMES FOR THE BIRDS!
IN THE SUMMER THEY "SHADE", IN THE FALL THEY WILL "SHED",
IN THE WINTER, THEY'LL "SLEEP", BUT MIGHT APPEAR "DEAD".
IN THE SPRING,THEY'LL "AWAKEN", AND "BUDS", WILL THEN "BLOOM",
LIKE THE "MIRACLE" OF LIFE,ONLY NOT FROM "THE WOMB"!
JUST MAYBE MY POEM, WILL HELP OTHERS TO SEE,
"THE SIMPLE" ENJOYMENT, THAT I GET FROM "THE TREE"!!!!!
