This Beautiful Tree

This Beautiful Tree

by Bud Lemire on Nov 27, 2012

With her roots firmly planted in the ground

This beautiful tree came to be found

Her branches held so very high

I just couldn't pass her by

Her beauty could easily be seen

With all her leaves of green

She was a sight I loved to see

As her branches embraced me

Her bark was of a special wood

That always told me she could

In the Autumn she let it fall

Her leaves discarded and I saw it all

She was naked to my eyes

I was taking in her size

I got real close and held her tight

As she moved slowly in the sunlight

She took me so deep one time

A hollow spot she became all mine

Her branches surrounded me

Held me close so tenderly

She was all I wanted her to be

As I fell in love with This Beautiful Tree

To Vicki, who is as beautiful as a tree
