Shapely Trunk
Red leaves adorn your shapely trunk
Smaller, knarled, leaning slightly shrunk
Soon your leaves will fall coating the earth
With a layer that wil be able to birth
Little seed that have fallen down from trees
Will the squirrels and chipmonks let them be
Or store them away deep within the ground
Surely some will survive and roots then abound
During winter cold, red berries are fully exposed
These are your crowning glory like the crown posed
On his head and blood ran down red to save the dead
Then soon your white and purity will be seen
In the flowers that are sprinkled in the forest in spring
Flowers that grace your knarled leaning dwarfed green
