little tree

By Kat Myrman 
take care, what you wish for
little tree; don’t rush to blush
amidst midsummer’s balmy 
haze, for summer comes but 
once a season; take your cue from
elder trees, their lavish manes
of sparkling emerald, chartreuse 
and sage, wisdom comes from
weathering life’s cycles, grace and 
age, and autumn, with her cool dawn
snap will be here soon enough
you’ll see; so entertain the breeze
and dance, while dusk holds back
the shade of night, your dreams 
will keep, they’re never late, 
but lie in wait until the time 
is right…oh little tree stay green,
let your sprouting limbs grow strong
stretch your roots into the loam
that holds the memories of home
in just a blink your innocence
will be laid bare, as winter’s 
snow becomes your hair, the night
will wrap you tight and long and 
you will wonder where time’s gone, 
and think about the summers passed, 
while drifting off to sleep
