I
The bald lonely tree
Gets no sympathy from birds
Even when it is in pain
II
Birds chirp in dancing
Flying here and hopping there
No weather bother
III
The tree sits under
Be it hotness or coldness
No deliverance
IV
Who sees its hot tears?
Who knows its coldness and fears?
Who can provide shade?
V
Poor, poor sad clothed tree
Sitting sadly solemnly
Take it all in faith
VI
A saviour will come
One day when you least expect
With pure protection

Just a simple Ghanaian trying to find the best in our society. I may be fun, I may be interesting, I may be funny, I may even be foolish or intelligent, but it is all based on the mood in which you find yourself. I believe our minds make us who we are. Know that, pain, no matter its 'unbearability', is transient. Unburden or delight yourself for a while in my writings please. And all corrections, advice and opinions are welcome. Know that you are the king, queen or royal on this blog. :)

I love the imagery and symbolism you use here. In our greatest weakness we hold infinite strength.

Was the tree lonely or was it different. I wonder how many of them might have felt this way.

Amazing huh? No matter your problems, you dependants still depend on you and will not stop until you depart. Life is like that. We all get to that point of the bald tree sometimes.
