Sappy Trees

Before you arrived I was dying in the sand Drained in the desert a withering plant  You've always been one to keep flowers alive  Watered me daily and helped me survive  I know you are beautiful and you won't see  You only put water and love into me  I grew and regrew you snipped off the bad You gave me some seeds and then you called me a dad 

You watered with love I guess you did it too much I grew too tall and fell out of touch I've drained you of water and so have your seeds We used your resources and are killing a tree You could in this ending have left to the forest To find a new tree to help you to flourish I wanted to save you and all that I want Is to always repay you not in gold but just love I'll water you daily I'll trim off the bad You were a beautiful mother but now we are sad Through storms and Tsunamis through wild forest fires We can't be burned up and we will not expire Until we are old and we grow to a whisper Until we're forgotten or rotten and withered Our bruises will heal but stay a reminder We've grown through it all stronger and wiser I can't grow without you I can't live and be I want to grow with you for others to see And when we are old our seeds will remember Our fruits will be eaten our rings will end here Some will make ashes and soil when perished We can make paper for others to cherish Our fruits will make colors our roots will make covers We'll be here forever for poets and lovers From keepsakes and photos to letters for others For more beautiful children with beautiful mothers See there's reasons to grow though you don't see the sky We'll stay here forever even when we die So before we grow old and before we grow wiser I promise to help you to grow even brighter Through winter and summer and all of the weather Two trees together forever and ever
