The tree at the window <br />Put its branches inside, <br />Trying to touch me- <br />Its heart open wide. <br /> <br />The tree at the window, <br />All summer gave shade, <br />Made my room a retreat; <br />A green shadowed glade. <br /> <br />The tree at the window <br />Shared its life with me- <br />And just a few birds <br />Who came, briefly.<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-tree-at-the-window/
