I was walking lone there, <br />Where we once had been. <br />I sought the house we lived in, <br />In the lush lush green. <br />Perhaps inmates out, I thought, <br />As none I could see. <br />She has been haunting ever, <br />Where's May Flower Tree? <br />Looked around and discovered, <br />Ah! she lost her grace! <br />Hugged her with my eager hands, <br />Alone at that place. <br />Touched her old bark earnestly, <br />Felt the touch of past. <br />Childhood cried in deep deep pain, <br />Days crept in we passed. <br />Suddenly the tree turned green, <br />The Sun shone brightly. <br />I saw the May Flower Tree, <br />An emblem of Infancy!<br /><br />Neela Nath<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-may-flower-tree/
