happy memories

I was once new to this world,

 but now years have passed.

 I still reside in the place where I was conceived.

 I have seen things live,

 I have seen things die,

 yet I still stand tall.

 I can see for miles out but its always the same.

Nothing happens here except the blooming of the roses each year.
Except that one year when that nice couple came.

I saw a women proposed to 

right before my very eyes.

More years pass now they're my neighbors.

I watched them live, I watched their children grow.

 When they grew of age, they played with me all day long.

More years pass,

now I only see their graves.

I have lived a long time, I fear my bane is soon.

 Decades pass I finally grow old,

 my time is surely near.

I see the couples graves, happy memories flood back as I slowly decay away.

that is when I asked my last question.

Did they ever think of me the great oak tree...

I like the vision, I enjoyed the passage of time and that you are an oaktree.
Remember there.... they are or they're.
Surly= surely,
Surly means grumpy and silently aggressive.

Thanks for the review. This is one of my better poems, i was wanting it to be a nice setting with a twist at the end.

[Cara]

Aw, did you really see a woman being proposed to? That's a very sweet sentiment but I think it's really dynamic how you change between the niceness of playing to the sadness of death. That's powerful. It peaks my curiosity, because I wonder at first if this is indeed your own life, then I think it's a person who probably has lived longer than others and then the wonderful twist of it being a tree! Very clever! Correct the spelling, a little editing and I think this could become popular!

No i haven't actually but i have heard about people getting proposed to including my brother. And there's really nothing else i could think of to go with what i was trying to portray, I told myself I was going to write about a dying tree but the reader doesn't know until the end and, after about 40 mins i got this. It was supposed to give you a sense of happiness and then a sense that happiness doesn't last forever, it ends with a twist. After the twist i was hoping people would see things mentioned before and think ohhhh for example "when they grew of age they played with me all day long".
Thanks for the review
