Sad When Tree Falls

Sad When Tree Falls A tree once stood there by the mountainside In a perfect place where God does abide While He has been waiting for a visitor Who about self sometimes is not sure. Tree seemed to stand so straight and tall Making other ones around to be small Was majestic and mighty as it can be And obvious much of this overcame me. Tree stood all day and through the night Being a gorgeous and impressive sight Completely quiet with no sound around While in the winter snow would abound. Could I ever be as impressive as it is? Still there are many things that I miss As tree continued to grow and grow Never knowing what had existed below. Tree stood there calmly and serene All trees behind it were always green I still will wonder and emotional get Being sad when tree fell with deep regret. James Thomas Horn Retired Veteran and Poet
