An Old Tree Stands Alone
An old tree stands alone and bare,
Its trunk is weathered and worn,
Branches once held leaves so fair,
Look now, almost all forlorn.
The sky above reflects its pain,
A sky that once was bright blue,
The tree stands in its pouring rain,
With leaves now only a few.
Its roots reach deep into the earth,
Its memories of life go through,
It’s given all it had since birth,
And now it’s ready to bid adieu.
