The Lonely Tree - a photo on Flickriver

The Lonely Tree

            A tree that once stood alone, 
A tree that was unstable, 
And not very strong, 

A tree that didnt have much of a chance, 
For a tree for night did understand, 

A tree that was so afraid to let go, 
For that reason, 
That tree never learned to grow, 

A tree that never felt the warmth of the sun, 
Or made shadows in the moon, 
For a tree who could seem to never
blossom into something new

A tree with branches that snapped, 
With thunderstorms and hurricanes
beating on its back

A tree that never grew up to be all it could be, 
I wonder what was holding this tree back from
its dreams?
