Ode' To the Tree

Ode’ to the Tree

Farewell old tree.
We know you are free.
Never to lose anything again.
Nor find your leaves to be.
Such goes history of,
Not only trees so free,
But those of countries,
Thought not so free.
Oh could it be?
You are a seed,
We all need,
To take heed,
For All To Be Free…

This is a great Ode, John. When I first read it I thought I had deja-vu, but I wrote about a stump, called God Bless This Stump. Nicely done!

Had read something similar years ago. Afraid I may had stolen it. Thanks much for you comment.
