This Tree
April 3, 2011
I"ll stand up for the tree
That stood up for me
When the world hid in shadows
Of shades gray
The truth is written
On bathrrom stall doors
Engraved in the pavement
On the sidewalks
Right in front of your picket fenced house
And you miss it
You walk past it everyday
And when it rains
You remember that day
That you stood
Underneath my tree
D R Y
Pea coat toggles done to the top
As the sky filled your rain boots
With tears
The truth is written
On bathroom stall doors
Open your eyes
See the truth
