my eyes brim with tears - searching for my old friend – the tree,
that giveth me shelter at times of need
my wishes demanded - fulfilled in full agree
My heart skipping a beat
in notice of the missing wish-tree,
left with the trunk deeply rooted
my friend gone forever – which had once set me free
My mind racing back to good ol’ times
when on return from school I savored the peaceful rest,
beneath the shade of my wishful friend
- a siesta to cool off the summer journey at best
My eyes swelling with tears
as I touch the remnants of my worthy friend,
which had selflessly aided travelers
soothe tiring nerves – with it’s shade to tend
Cooling my vengeance that so impulsively arises
on the humankind that causes destruction,
my soul reaching out for numerous other flora
those need our earnest protection from this unearthly action
