The wind it is blowing <br />So very strong <br />The howling makes it <br />Sound like a song <br /> <br />The tree will sway <br />From natures force <br />So long ago <br />It's leaves were all lost <br /> <br />All weathered and beaten <br />The tree stands bare <br />With it's limbs twisted and broken <br />That no doctor can repair <br /> <br />Long ago I am sure this tree <br />Was a sight of beauty to behold <br />What a terrible thing, just like people <br />A tree to has to grow old <br /> <br /> <br />5-22-09/RjH<br /><br />Ray Hansell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-tree-29/
