you started as a tiny seed...

You started as a tiny seed,
you were nurtured by the
warmth of the sun
the gentleness of the rain
your branches grew stronger
pine cones & leaves
added to your beauty
the clouds above
when it became twilight time
the stars shone on you
as the years went by
your age began to show
but you became even more unique
you were strong, yet weak
it so long for you to finally
touch the touch the sky
but you are now a memory
forever imprinted into the
shadows of time.
