in a forest of evergreens,
lloking down at the ground
in despair as it gazes at
all its lost friends...
a lonely tree loses its birds
as they relocate to the evergreens
who provide more cover...
a lonely tree weeps alone
as it endures the harsh winter
and the squirrels hide in
its hollowness until spring...
the evergreens smile at
the lonely tree until they are
cut down for the holidays
and those who have survived
beg for forgiveness...
a lonely tree reaches out in
comfort to those who lost
brothers and sisters,
sharing what it can to aid
in their recoverry...
a lonely tree awaakes one morning
to find its leaves have returned
along with the birds and the
squirrels who have awakened
to enjoy the sun...
the evergreens are thankful
for its friendship and offer
more for the coming year.
