Nobody Came
Amma,
Yesterday the tree died. Many men came and cut it down and laid it on the road.
They laid the body on the road.
I went and said a few kind words. The tree had always been good to me.
In fact it had been good to everyone but nobody came Ma.
They took the tree's body away, I was not sure if they will burn it away or bury it. I wished it stayed longer with us.
What happens to trees that die Ma?
(Amma, Ma are synonymous with mother)
