An Empty Space

(An old friend, soon to be felled)

in summer time beneath tree shade
my children sipped on lemonade
as branches stretched and branches swayed
in garden safety there they played

this cypress gifted tiny cones
for me it represented home
it stood there proudly on its own
my children now are fully grown

all living things on earth must pass
this friend of mine has breathed its last
my grey eyes now are downwards cast
a drawn out death prolonged not fast

too soon i’ll witness from my door
an empty space forevermore

But that empty space will be ever filled with memories.

You took me back to my childhood with this; thank you.
