A tree first grows
Without leaves.

Only the roots that
Made it grow.

The tree gains leaves
As it grows,

But there's something
The tree doesn't know.

Through the summer and
Spring, the leaves will
Stay. The leaves and
The tree will be one.

But fall comes and the
Leaves change

And by winter they are
Gone.

Now the tree is cold,
Wishing it was an evergreen
Who's leaves never change.

But the tree is the tree.
And the tree had it's leaves.
And it's leaves fall.
And when the tree dies,

It dies empty inside.
