Under the Apple Tree

Under the tree, I sit once again A long decade it has been Before, a girl, lost and alone A woman into which she has grown Memories flood me as I look back Knowledge abundant, previously lack So many changes, good and bad So obvious when I think of what I had No future in which to believe No aspirations I wanted to achieve Stuck in a circle, no way out Until you showed me what life was about Here, under the apple tree A smile, when I think of you & me So much of yourself that you've shared Knowledge, zest, and love to show you cared Different view of which the world is today Your love showed me a better way
