Chessnut memory
7 Dec 2023 5:43 pm
A distant memory upon the winter breeze
The spring scent of fertile chessnut trees
So broad and strong standing tall against the storms
Producing bushels of sweet sustanace and burs of thorns
I remember when I stood so strong against the wind
Branching out to produce and provide a home and win
There were many storms and burs of thorns
That produced sweet sustance of memories adored
Like the nuts of that tree my family is scattered
I am alone with not much that matters
The tree was cut down by those who knew not its great worth
Nothing left of it to remember but grass covered earth
One day I to will go down, only a memory in someone to be found
And as the tree I will be grass and ground
