Tree ******
We have the same Christmas tree argument each year
This year I won
We pruned a limb so the tree would live on
It's the small actions
Which will heal our world
Kindness to all things living
Kindness rules
Out with my kin looking for a limb of tree to prune

Why do I have to fall in love?
Why can't I just I just stop?
Tell me God from above
Why can't he be a slop?

Why is he a gentleman?
Why does he listen well?
But he's a ladies man
And I just fell

He doesn't feel the same
Yet he sympathizes
Doesn't put me to shame
Even gives advices

Love is twisted
Not the kindest
Maybe gifted
Even to the wisest
For my one-sided love...

You who brought me new colours
Who made me see the wonders
Who gave me new perspectives
Who helped mold new objectives

Who showed me the bright sun
And all that was nice and fun
Who woke me up from my nightmares
Who patched up all my hideous tears

Who made me feel complete
Who made my everyday sweet
Who loved me like I loved you
Who showered me with love that's new

So, don't leave my side
Go with me in this ride
Through the pains of this place
Wrap me in your embrace

Care for me like you would for a baby
Assure that with you I know of my safety
And through all troubles, we'd come through
Then my forever would be with you
I rise early this morning
Drinking my coffee to the sound of the blustery wind fluttering around
I become aware the change of season has come to be
The temperature begins to drop day by day
My youth has also dropped deep within me
Outside the winds do beat and quiver
Deep within my heart my youth still flickers
Winter sets in, the wind settles
The daily morning freeze gradually sets my heart at ease
At last, I have realized
The shutter of youth
Has brought peace to my eyes.
