Trees Shed Leaves

Trees shed leaves
A mother sheds her tears and sweats
Trees lose their glories
A mother loses her youth
Trees offer a dappled shade
A mother offers protection and love
Trees leave  baldness and rings in their trunks
A mother leaves an everlasting memory and a precious love 
In her children's heart
