Our Sycamore Tree
Walking along the fields of the old family farm,
observing the crops waving in the summer breeze,
I stop and rest at the old ranch gate.
Standing alone on the edge of a pasture,
I let my elbows rest on the faded fibers of wood.
I hold out my hand to feel the summer breeze.
I watch the swing hanging below a sycamore tree.
Swaying at a rhythm against the breeze,
it makes me remember the days
when we pushed each other on this swing.
Sitting with you on the edge of the pasture,
I still see you smile with the sunflowers.
I remember you with a cross,
that sits under our sycamore tree.
