GRANDPARENTS TREE
BY FIONA CUMMINGS
Sitting under the tree
With my love next to me
Looking into his eyes
Full of surprise
His mouth so beautiful
With words so thoughtful
I glance to the leaves up high
Seeing the perfect sky
It seems like just a year
Since my Grandparents were here
They planted this
It is under this tree
My love and I had our first kiss
I hope we will be able to protect this tree
For our future family
As this old oak
Has many stories to tell
Sadness and laughter after a joke
Winds have tried to get it to fall
But it still stands so tall
The elements have been in battle
Sometimes quite brutal
But my Grandparents oak still stands
And they have passed
But I hope they see me holding hands
With someone I am totally in love with
They would have loved him
Sitting under this tree
Makes me so happy
I feel at one with the past and present
The smells around me are so pleasant
This is nature
Natural life
What we were born for
To love and treat nature with respect
Something sadly, we have forgotten
Sometimes life seems so rotten
But not whilst I’m here with my darling
Not whilst this tree stands so proud
The sun is shining
Not even a cloud
This is what life is about
