Our Ironwood Tree
Not to far
From our backyard
Grows a large
Ironwood Tree.
Its trunk is carved
With a heart
That holds the love
You promised me.
Every day
I pass that way
Too enjoy the shade
of our Ironwood tree.
To place my hand
Over that scar
To feel the love
You have given me.
When I'm gone
On my stone
Engrave for me
An Ironwood tree.
