FRIENDS WE TAKE FOR GRANTED

 

Defining the city skylines
Ignored witnesses of our strife
Warm and encouraging
Trees are the friends we take for granted

Dazzling us with colors
Generosity in every fruit
Inebriating aromas
Trees are the friends we take for granted

Warn windbreakers in winters
Dangerous comfort in storms
Cool shades of summers
Trees are the friends we take for granted

Silent sentinels of my walks
Willing me on when exhaustion sets
Dependable and loving
Trees are the friends we take for granted

The ever changing beauty
Of color schemes through the seasons
Never dull, always new
Trees are the friends we take for granted
