I was a sapling once <br />with my whole life ahead of me. <br /> <br />I felt the kiss of the warm sunlight. <br />I gratefully drank in the gentle rain. <br />I swayed with the rhythm of the wind. <br /> <br />The sap of life <br />coursed through my veins. <br /> <br />I lived! <br /> <br />Though cut down in my prime, <br />remember me as I was - <br />a living vibrant being. <br /> <br />And when you think of me, <br />think of my fellow trees <br />who are living still, <br />in the light, <br />and the rain, <br />and the wind.<br /><br />Lady of the Trees<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/voice-of-a-tree-after-being-cut-down/
