To Remember and to Forget

I had a beautiful tree that I loved,
It was lovely and charming that I can’t forget,
Running around that tree, hiding behind that tree,
It was amazing memories that I can’t forget,
Sometimes I thought that I am connected to that tree.
Every season the leaves changed colour,
It was really amazing, it was like magic,
I could tell whatever I wanted to that tree,
That tree was my best friend,
We were really close to each other.
I always cried when I lost my loved ones,
I cried a lot, I cried so much,
But when I looked to that tree, and the leaves were falling
I thought, 'Why isn’t the tree sad when the leaves go!'
But then, the tree taught me something.
The tree let go of it dead leaves, so, maybe I could do the same thing.
When I touched the tree, I felt comfortable,
It was the life lesson I learnt and it made me passionate,
It was the memory of my grandfather, that I cannot forget
Maybe the tree is way far away from me now, but I still remember it in my heart and love it.
