The Life of a Tree

Finally, I see light.
Kids crowding around me like I’m a celebrity.
A year later,
People giving me tattoos but it doesn’t hurt a bit.
Now I’m a big old tree,
Kids trying their best to climb on my strong branches.
Now I have hundreds of these fabulous tattoos.
My leaves start falling,
as I start feeling weak,
I know it’s my time for another tree to fit in my place.
