Colors of all colors. <br /> Leaves of all leaves, <br /> drop down from above. <br /> Softly and passionately <br /> it said, "please." <br /> Flowing around the sky. <br /> Seeing the vision up high. <br /> A delicate nature. <br /> Different running creatures. <br /> Here stands this tree. <br /> People that of the view like to see. <br /> "Don't pass me. <br /> Here I am, please. <br /> View me! Save me! Love me! Pray for me! <br /> I have to grow. <br /> I have to live. <br /> I have to be with others, <br /> so I will give. <br /> There's fruit to be eaten. <br /> Things to be saved. <br /> Hear my cry, my cry! <br /> Then I will stay. <br /> Don't ever forget me," <br /> said one certain tree.<br /><br />Cheri Odom<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/one-certain-tree/
