R.P. Grcic Poet Free verse

I guess I wrote an ode to the trees :o

I wonder how the trees feel when their leaves finally blow away, 
Or when the baby birds nesting there grow old enough to give their mothers chase? 
Sitting under her shade, 
Do old trees feel pride when they’ve reached their resting age?
Patiently waiting paladins, 
There’s thunder in my mind that contemplates, 
Why is it that you can’t help but be selfless for all the rest of your days? 
Maybe I could learn something from the trees as I hide from the Sun’s rays, 
A slumber under your protection, 
I wish I could thank you to your face. 

I’m thankful for your creation, 
I’m thankful you’ve never asked for your thanks.
I’m thankful for your patience, 
I apologise for your brothers, 
Memorialisised in the planks. 
Tranquil, 
I humbly offer libation. 
I’m grateful for you, 
Thanks.
