Two trees they stood far apart
Across the waves of grass.
And although these trees grew apart
The two became friends fast.
Until two men had decided
That there must be a line
And these trees should be divided
Would happen to be fine.
Eventually, arose a wall
And the men were content
The trees could not be seen at all
Pleased with good effort spent.
The years passed by and time went on
The two men aged and died.
But the two trees remained fond
And every fall they cried
Meanwhile the trees grew and grew
Spreading out their branches
When one day there came something new
And what were the chances?
That pollen drifted from the tree
And came to the other
Caressed it in the warm spring breeze
Like an eager lover.
In the summer a tiny sprout
Had grown near to the wall
Each day it grew more stout
But it neglected to grow more tall.
The days and weeks and months passed by
Until the tree grew strong
And all three trees were intertwined
Where all of them belonged.
The great wall crumbled, then it fell
Just as the three trees swayed.
All three let out a joyful yell
As none there were dismayed
But time passes as per always
And winter came at last
The two trees passed into a phase
Where neither tree could last.
But the youngest one did not fall
Instead it grew *****
By far the greatest of them all
But doesn't love have that effect?
And then one day a tree did grow
A place along the way.
So graceful did her branches flow
Always ready to play.
Two trees they stood far apart
Across the waves of grass;
And although these trees grew apart
The two became friends fast.
