An old Friend

You were all alone
Your whisper for love was a deafening tone
The wind grew stronger
As the days grew longer

The moment I saw you,
I knew we were destined for many years
Of fun adventures

It all started when we met eye to eye
You towered over me, so high
I stood at your feet
Your leaves placed so neat

Many hours of play
As you protected me from the sun rays
Sheltered me from rain
You took my pain away

In the middle of May
When the sky turned grey
You were broken
My dad had spoken
And you were nothing more than a stump
