Notes About The Poem

By Michael and Robert Liguori

Evergreen

There is a tree 
in front of the house 
On the corner

Twenty years I groomed the tree
Watered the tree
Made it strong

The tree grew and grew
Beautiful , big

Powerful

Someone stole my 
One of a kind pine tree 

Why
Where is it

Who stole it

It was mine a 
Permanent
Part of the house

A million dollar tree
Groomed by me for
Twenty years

Why 

It was my tree
Beautiful 

Evergreen

this is charming and sad too. I had a tree so beautiful and a wind storm tore half its lovely branches away!
