The Last Acorn

Today, I'm treasure in your palm
tomorrow the magic will be gone-
One day your children will swing 
from my sturdy branches
and their children will gather 
up my hatted ones and
turn them into treasures
with eyes that will never sparkle
forever.

When you breath your last
I'll be in my prime...
the elders will gather 
paint water-colored eulogies in my shade.
After words, the children will whorl in laughter
amidst the sunlight's rapture...
My leaves and your sweet soul
singing in harmony called eternity~
