Patti Morelli
Author Poet
We all look at many of natures gifts'
Have you ever looked at this tree and seen yourself
The tree, just as we, lives as we do
In the beginning only roots from its ancestors
As the tree grows a foundation is formed
The tree, just as we, must branch out to new beginnings
With each branch grown a new experience occurs
With each branch leaves and flowers bloom
The tree grows tall, wise and beautiful
Now I must branch out, but never to forget
That our friendship is truly rooted
As in the tree, we branched out to new beginnings
In those years, we grew tall, wise and even beautiful
In many ways, we gained strength from each other
A person must grow and leave behind friends and memories
Special friends never to be forgotten
The memories, the experiences, are now part of me
Only true friends can see the growth as happiness
I consider you a very special branch
In my tree of life
