Who doesn't love trees?
Personally, I prefer evergreens
The bigger the better
If I was a tree
I would hibernate during the winter
Evergreens are much more loyal to their leaves than I could ever be
My roots from my planter are gone
I am a dead evergreen if I ever was one
My leaves are dull
And my flowers don't show
I no longer bear fruit for those who hunger
If I was a tree
I would be dead from neglect
My fruit was eaten and all my flowers were plucked
If I was a tree
Is that a possibility?
I would be a stump
I'm sat on by those who cut me down
But since I loved being alive so much
And I know I'll miss the sound of birds singing to their nestlings
I hope my seeds will scatter
And they fight to grow
And they get nutrients
From all I have left in this world
Are my dead leaves
