Give back the tree that stood by the gate
Casting its shadow to the south
Cutting hedges in half
Protecting the smallest of animals
From the hottest sun.

You have been a horizon from a silled room
A fragrance guided by light
Tomorrow's promise of another
And the gap left is a silence
Remembered when I cry .
The Maple was cut down by the council about ten years ago .So missed it.
The council did not replace it .
Such a joy it was 30 foot high Thank you Tree.
