The Old Tree

Gnarled, twisted, bare and old
Survives summer heat and winter cold
Sheds its leafy load in fall
Till Spring returns and makes its call

You poor old tree

Many different shades and types
With branches likening twisted metal pipes
Leaves green, or yellow, or brownish too
Shades to match winter-grey's or summer-blue

You poor old tree

Your poor bare branches break my heart
Your strength you'll find, will never part
Make my day, and smile for me
This gnarled, twisted, bare and ancient tree

You poor old tree
