Five Trees and Me

Once there were five trees five trees and me Down came two --now only three Two more diseased sawed down to the ground The last, lightning-zapped gone, all her sap... Now, no more trees just me and Thee

I felt the sadness and the recognition of mortality. Thankfully just steps from where you are there are more trees and more life to be enjoyed.

The humour in this is only superficial. Beneath the jocular tone, it holds a bitter truth. When all our shade and support disappear one by one, we have only God for our company ! Loved this partially comic and partially serious little poem.

As long as Thee keeps by your side. you will have someone to be your guide And help to brush away your tears eliminating all you fears.
