Lonely Pine Tree

Curious? Go on and read it.

One late night with stars shining bright up in the sky

A pine tree stood so still with the wind blowing by

The wind although clear seemed like weightless chilling ice

But the tree did not complain he thought it rather nice.

 

For the tree I'll have you know would stand there day by day

With nothing else to do but to think his time away

And while he stood and thought the sun would shine oh so bright

So all he'd ever think about was day tuning into night 

 

The years went by and all the tree could think about was this

The sun should go away for him he'd surely never miss

It made his needles brown and they'd all leave him there behind

They'd fall away and tumble down towards the chilly ground

 

The sun had woken up one day and on the earth he'd shone

But as he felt the pine trees wrath he realized what he'd done

The sun could feel his heart was now breaking into three

He'd never want to hurt the tree so he'd just leave him be.

 

The tree had now enjoyed what was a sunless chilly night

The sun would soon wake up and spoil all the trees delight

But as he waited for the warmth that'd fill up every day

The tree began to realize that he'd scared the sun away.

 

Pure happiness had lightened up the pine trees bitter heart

The sun had gone and everything could go back to the start

The needles that had left him would come back and they'd all stay

He knew that this would truly be a bright and happy day

 

But never would the day be bright and happy ever more

The needles all continued to lay on the forest floor

So now the tree had neither all it's needles nor the sun

And nothing could he do to make his life a little fun

 

Day by day the tree would stand in darkness all alone

no one to keep him company or listen to him moan

The tree had never liked the sun and always just complained

So now he had no friends at all and nothing had he gained.
