The Summer and the Tree

1.10.10

Friendship is a sheltering tree
Keeping me cool throughout long summer days
But when fall looms its head and I must depart
Those leaves all drift away

In the harshest of winters
Times will indeed be rough and tough
But I know with the arrival of glorious spring
That I'll be in your shadow soon enough

I hope that summer lasts awhile
So I can get used to the comfort of your shade
For those perfect moments make me wish
The season were here to stay
