Tree I was <br />That shed its leaves <br />In winter to let <br />Sunshine enter <br />Your home <br />To brighten life. <br /> <br />Tree I was <br />That grew leaves <br />To provide shade <br />In hot summer <br />To cool your home <br />Providing comfort. <br /> <br />Tree I was <br />Where birds made <br />Nests and lived <br />And you said <br />How lively it is <br />This lovely tree. <br /> <br />Yet you forgot all <br />And didn't hesitate <br />To cut me and slice <br />For the timber needed <br />To build your <br />Vacation home. <br /> <br />Tree I was <br />That lived a while <br />Tree I was <br />Tree no more.<br /><br />Tirupathi Chandrupatla<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tree-no-more/
