The Tree

The tree that saw the loss of my first tooth

The tree that cheered on my my first step 

The tree that recorded my first birthday

The tree that celebrated my first Christmas

The tree that cheers me up

The tree that gives me luck

The tree that brings light and shade into my home

The tree that supports me 

The tree that lulls me to sleep 

The tree that sings me soothing songs

The tree that comes and goes with me

The tree that picks me up

The tree whose lengthy limbs carry me 

The tree that stands and sprouts for me 

The tree that provides protection for me 

The tree that nurtured whispers to me

The tree that keeps me safe and sound

The tree that spreads its charm around

The tree that will be here from the start to the end

The tree that is a forest of love for me
