Tree-(Homeage) 2
Whispers (2)
Oh dear beauty
now that youve gone
the memories linger
of the beauty you bestowed
now the traffic whizzes by
roads leading everywhere
to get us away
from this once beautiful spot
where I used to play.
Walking one day on the side of the road
I found a small acorn
and planted it in a small piece of land
a now a tall beauty
here does stand
as time moved on
and the seasons passed by
the people looked up
with a tear in their
eye
and saw this grand tree
reach to the sky
acorns that fell
from this grand giant
were planted all around
as far as could be
as their shoots came through
to get daylight
the concrete around
did crumble and crack
and the tall grey monsters
fell to the ground
and people all over
their joy did
sound
as seasons fled by
and years did pass
the tree still there
and more amass
