Eulogizing the Snow Tree
Eulogizing The “Snow Tree”
Written: by Miracle Man

It fell prey to a Dozer on a day in September,
it stood many years, too numerous to remember.
A highway project has brought about its demise,
most travelers won’t notice, but that’s no surprise.
Each time I drive past I view this tree, though mental,
this old Elm stood alone and struck me as being gentle.
It provided cows shade from their hot summer grazing,
some would be standing while others lay lazing.
It endured harsh seasons but I remember just one,
of winter’s frost covered branches and a warm rising sun.
I’ve driven this highway for a number of years,
and now that it’s gone, it evokes virtual tears.
But like all things in life this tree outlived its day,
and was just an old tree that stood in progress’ way.
