Me, I’m The Tree

Birds land on me and fly,
If the weather's too dry I’ll die,
My leaves constantly changing like a toddler from one to three,
Golden sap dripping down like a bottle of maple syrup.
Groups of kids come to me, they peel my bark, rip my branches off and pluck my leaves as they play,
I am dying, it's not okay.
