This Tree

An outing as a child,

I sat down by this tree.

My mother laughed like a chime,

My father tickled me.

My first kiss in front of it,

Amidst the teenage cat calls.

And every Sunday I sat,

An escapee from Church Halls.

My first date was sweet,

Right by this tree,

We carved our names in a heart,

One time, two times, three.

I brought my child here,

A day and half after birth,

My child smiled at me,

My personal sun on Earth.

The tree was hit by lightening,

Neither of us ripe in years.

I am 80, the tree is dead.

My tree is littered with beers.

Ok. This poem was crap. But I wanted to write about something not death/war/suicidal thoughts.
