The Lonely Tree

The view from a tree’s perspective

People all pass me by without glancing my way
It’s ok, this happens to me all the time
Actually hundreds of times each and every day
So I’ve learned early on this isn’t a crime
I just started to wonder about you
It seems you all hurry about
Never stopping to stand still like I do
I’d love to invite you to just hangout
Bring a book come sit with me
I will stand by and offer you the shade
I’d really love to have your company
That’s one thing I would never trade
The days when people would look for me
Just sit by me and keep me company
Now people don’t come around you see
They seem to be rushing around so urgently
I wish you’d stop by and see me the sad lonely tree
