THE TREE....

 

The morning sun shines brightly in my window...
It illuminates the room like no other...
I look outside and see the tree from my room...
The huge oak just sits there...
Waiting patiently...
No one has stopped to say hello today...
No one has thought to touch it's side...
You can almost see it crying...
It weeps for it's lonliness...
So I open the blinds wide...
Take a step out of my room...
Walk down the hall...
Out of the building...
Down the stairs I go...
And there is the tree...
Standing there waiting...
I stare at it for a moment...
While I take in it's magic...
It's graduer...
I step up to it and give it a hug...
All the birds in the tree fly away...
The branches of the tree upstretch to the sky...
The sun shines so brightly on the tree...
Little shadows dance across my building...
I've made someone happy today...
