The Life of a Tree

Listen to poem:
The Life of a Tree David J Walker There was life left in the old tree New branches growing from old limbs The offshoot that sends new growth Into the Spring soaking up the shine Of the post equinox sun There standing with a chainsaw And sharpened ax I could see what could be In the life of a tree Not done living
