My tree

The time has passed me by i have aged..
My son and daughters have left me here

I sit watching the world turn and grow
the only thing with me is my tree

She has aged with me and always been there
Trustworthy and loyal she has stood by me

When she passed i fell apart
the stress it put on my old heart

pushed me to the edge
As i stood on the brink of existing
i turned..

My eyes filled with the last of my dusty tears
as i saw my family and friends..

waving in the slight breeze they smiled to me
i smiled back..then my wife took my hand and turned

Us around..and leaped with me into the darkness
I found my tree once again.
