The Tree


I am a towering Tree
None can surpass me
I look down upon Saplings
And laugh defiantly

I am a towering Tree
I’m the tallest I’ll ever be
The Sky can only see me
For you have only reached my knee

I am a towering Tree
Loggers are now I see
they cut me down with glee
They pull my trunk through the debris

No longer am I a towering Tree
You have grown and surpassed me
I look up upon Saplings.
Oh how I wish you can forgive me!
