Do the trees sigh?
Does the wind cry?
Do they gather to remember the loved one or friend and say Goodbye?
Was it a fire caused by a careless human, an architect, was it sick
and Mother Nature called it home or to let go?
What happened to the tree when it was young ,strong, and tall long ago?
How many creatures scurried across its arms to play or hide food?
Find shelter?
Was it Maple, an Oak, a Redwood?
Maybe a Ponderosa Pine?
Did maple sap run from it or apples grow for all to see?
Does a tree make a sound when it falls in the forest?
Did an eagle rest on its branches and then take flight?
Next time, we'll have to get to know a tree better and perhaps
we'll do more than ask questions about out Dear Departed friend,tonight.
