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
