The tree house

Hey all i once read this poem. i think it is called the tree house

" I finally agreed when he turned ? to build his castle in the sky."

its a really great poem and i cant seem to find it

^^ That's the one I looked at too.

I don't think it's called the treehouse, because there was only that one and one about Mickey Mouse..either that, or it's off this site now.

The Treehouse

I finally agreed when he turned eight
To build his castle-in-the-sky
With wooden steps nailed up the side
Just so he could climb that high.
Four walls each six feet tall
Although, not exactly square
And little windows all around
So he could look out everywhere.
But for the roof he said, Please dad,
Let's not cover it all the way
So I can see the stars at night
And feel the sun each day.
Up an down that tree he'd go
For just one board at a time
All that week I watch him grow
And felt so proud that he was mine.
Six short days after we began
That treehouse was complete
I said it was a work of art
He just kept saying, neat
He asked to have an open-house
So all his friends could see
We planned it for that next weekend
But it never came to be.
Early Friday morning the telephone rang
A large truck hit the bus they said
Many children injured, some were fatal
And mine was amongst the dead.
Now when I'm feeling terribly alone
I'll climb up that old tree
And sit for hours at a time
Pretending he's still there with me
The other day I fell alsleep there
And had the strangest, wonderful dream
About this castle-in-the-sky
And my boy calling down to me.
Saying, Daddy, just climb the steps
That I've already nailed down for you
I've got the highest treehouse of all
And I'm having open-house, for you...

Awehh that was cute.

Sad, but cute..was it on this site?
