Winter Tree
We are all planted as a seed,
A seed so hopeful as it could be.
With dreams set high of becoming a tree,
A tree that began its journey as a seed.
Springs brings out the bright colors of our leaves,
The leaves hang peacefully from our tree
As we soak in the sunshine and rain.
Summertime also helps us grow,
The sun beats hot and gives us glow.
But there are somethings most don't know
Its that this particular tree shrinks low.
No matter how many leaves are there,
This tree is forever bare, a tree so empty,
But there is one thing this tree knows
Winter is the time to show..
A winter tree is all I'll ever be,
No need for leaves to keep my feet
For winter is the best time,
It's so cold out, time to shine
It's just me and no one else around
The way it should be, peace and sound
This tree sits all alone,
No others next to it, just bones.
Some have tried to help and guide it on its way from birth,Starting out deep beneath the dirt.
When fall rolls around, my leaves begin to shine so bright
But, will only stay for a few more nights
Then there's a pile of all of them on the ground,
Rake and stacked and then never found.
Hopefully I'll see them all again,
High above the clouds when my time is up
By myself is how I am,
If any even began to understand
Then my god, they would be damned..
But there is one thing this tree knows
Winter is the time to show..
A winter tree is all I'll ever be,
No need for leaves to keep my feet
For winter is the best time,
It's so cold out, time to shine
It's just me and no one else around
The way it should be, peace and sound
There's no leaves around to bother,
Where are you, Holy Father?!
It's only my time to think alone,
How it should be, before my cover's blown
