Tree

How nature and we are connected.

Life is like a tree

Resembles me

Starts as just a seed

Gets help for every need

Starts to grow

Nice and slow

Learns to stand up alone

Starts to explore and roam

Goes through storms and rain

Thunder and lightning and pain

Now there are so many more trees

It’s crowded its not just me

Changes every season

My color and mood for a reason

I loose my leaves and they return

Remember everything I learn

Now I’m getting old

The rings on my trunk told

I’m really tall now and my roots stop growing

My age starts showing

I feel older than I looked

My trunk goes crooked

Each day I loose another leaf, another day

My life is turning gray

Each leaf that falls represents a day I loose

I wish there was another way I could choose

My flowers no longer bloom

It will be soon

I’m not the same

My time came

My last leaf fell along with one seed

Now that seed will grow and have help for every need

Life is like a tree

And this resembles me

I found this in an old notebook of poems of mine. Kind of like it. Reviews or comments?

I like the opening a lot, it's kind of like a tongue twister from then on, (In a good way!) that finishes well back at the starting lines at the end.
one edit, the last line of the first stanza: "Thunder and lightening and pain" lightning is misspelled, however if you're trying emphasize the word like light-N-ing adding an extra 'beat' to the line then it fits as is.

I really loved the opening lines in this, powerful, instriguing and pondering write, Love the analogy of this as well.
