The Falling Tree

The tree that is my life holds
so many branches I cannot lift
so many leaves I cannot count
so many scars I cannot heal

The tree that is my life endures
so many storms I cannot evade
so many dry roots I cannot nourish
so many winters I cannot bare

The tree that is my life survives
so many birds will find a home
so many sunsets I will enjoy
so many years I will live on
