Our Time Together

I come to you old friend 

and see how our seeds have flourished into this beautiful forest 

Oh I say to thee

Where have you been 

I have been banished by the ticks and bitten with fear.

Why must I be forsaken 

In you I can see my source of love, beauty and support 

My tears have been dried  

My voice
your voice 
together 
join in harmony 

My heart longs for your gentle touch 

Your warm breezes kiss my cheek. 

Here is where I belong  

Oh thousand year old tree 

Today you may die 

but I am thankful that you have been able to shelter and inspired many 

Together we have bloomed in springtime and
celebrated in summer  

Breathe Joan breathe
continue living moment by moment 

One never knows when you shall fall my dear tree 

but for now that ancient seed has left us with your grace 

and no one can take away the past

I mayn’t remember all 

but you are etched in my memory and may I never forget our treasured time together
