You’ve seen many seasons- my friend
there are those who came to you for shelter
others came for food
All knew you were faithful
to stand firm, during a storm
***
you never complained
always held your peace
when families had their squabbles
you endured with quiet strength
***
children were birthed in your wings
old ones withered – died there too
many a story revolves around you
***
now when your life
is fading away
some sigh “all things must end”
you smile – a sad shade of gray
***
others mourn the memories you store
the beauty you possess
will always be remembered
never again will there be
another you!!!
