Tree

A tree is tall, so big and green. The leaves represent life so pure and clean. When leaves go brown, things get really shady. Going behind your back is the reason why you hate me. The bark shows how hard things can really get. Roots are so deep, it's hard for you to forget. The rings, show the scars from the past. The water in soil may seem so small. Between life and death and when the leaves fall, the tree stands tall for a sign of hope. When the leaves hit the ground, it's the end of the rope.
