Springtime’s Tree (poem)
In springtime there once stood a tree
Where we made a fond memory
Romance sang a sweet melody
Which we two would answer with glee
-
And there every moment would be
All thoughts of all else were set free
We left it for time to explain
Why lovers would romp endlessly
-
With age we remembered our tree
As we met the sun and the rain
And more ties that bind we would gain
Ahead was a light we could see
-
But time plotted end to our spree
With mirrors of pointless distain
Hoping youth in our hearts to drain
And leave it for us to explain
-
A springtime will always remain
Just listen and hear its refrain
Though romance’s melody wane
As stars of forever sustain
Two leaves which came floating from tree
