Poem
An old tree stands alone,waiting for no one, but the bright warm sun. His branches reach far and wide, as if to hug you and touch the sky. He stands tall and firm each day, to shade all from the brightest sun ray. Greeting all who come to see him, for he is your friend and will do you no harm. Give him respect when you come by, for you never know when he'll say good bye. For many years he has been alone, he made this land his only home. do no harm to this tree so old, winter is coming ,his leaves grow cold. He can be frail in ice and in snow, treat him right and he will know. A cracking branch,it may snap, watch out for it may trap. He's lived a long life and has loved all, old tree will we see you next fall? If we do not we will not forget, what a friend you have been, frombegining to end. A friend who's been faithful, a friend who's been true. for there is no other tree, who looks like you do. Trere is only one,and only one you will be, for each tree is different, like no other you see. so I thank you for the times we had, for your gentleness and rugged way's, for all the climbs and all the day's. For growing up with me through the years, to say good bye, brings sad tears. So to you my friend, I will let you know you will not be forgotten. You my dear friend will live on you see, through your children, yours, and mine to be. I will watch your children with mine grow. This is not the end,but a new start, I carry your friendship, alway's to heart.
