The Lone Tree

[Gnomeh 470]

[!] Edwyrd sits against a rock as he smiles at a lonely tree surrounded by flowers, deciding to write a poem about it.

 

The Lone Tree

 

Alone, Frightened and scared,

I stand small,

Watching, waiting and wary,

I stand small.

 

I observe life flourish around me,

Like an adult raising a child,

Yet I didn't help,

I stand small.

 

Proud, hopeful and inspired,

I grow tall,

Pleased, pleasant and peaceful,

I grow tall.

 

I play with the sun above,

Like a friend, not a foe,

Protecting young from the elements,

I have grown tall.

 

-Edwyrd
