I Am a Tree, Or One Romantic Leap Into Sarcasm

I’m a timeless tree with the fine foliage of my hair
If you’re gentle with me I’ll caress you to sleep in the air
I’ll dispel all your fears and tears you’re willing to share

If you’re humble with me I will shade you in blessings of clouds 
Like a sweet bumble bee nibbles sunny blooms and thereabouts
Lightly kissing away all your troubles, misgivings and doubts 

But if you for some reason decided to go detrimental
You’ll be crushed with a force that some people would call elemental   
You don’t want to be there, I suggest you be humble and gentle
