Tree In Waverly Hall, Georgia

Why do your limbs resemble A Jewish Mennorah Lamp Is it from so many children playing On your delicate limb when your were young Or are you reaching upward To God's sky in appreciation For the sun and rain For which men only complain I don't know why I wasn't here when You were planted But you are beautiful to me (There is a town called Waverly Hall and in that town is a tree I think Magnolia but not sure. It is shaped like a Mennorah Lamp with its limbs touching the ground. I thought of a poem one day when we were going through this town on our way to Columbus. I could just see children playing on this tree when it was young and shaping its branches. This is also a medaphor for something else.)
