Eulogy For Trees

 

EULOGY FOR TREES

 

We mourn when

any tree succumbs

to rot or drought or age

 

We mourn their passing

like any friend

who endures this final stage

 

In life they had

such strength and grace

against the wind stood brave

 

Their stark remains

reminders of

a life that passed away.

A fitting tribute that should encourage us to regard these arboreal
allies with the admiration and affection that they deserve.
