Farewell old friends

As I walked, on that path,

with concerns for my health,

Seasons changed, be it summer or rain,

and I kept walking on.


They were there, standing tall,

welcoming me in my stroll,

as shade from heat, covers for rain,

and I recieved them all.


Days passed, so the years,

it was the normal routine,

drought came, so the storm,

but they withstand them all.


Amazing are these lifeform,

acting as home for many,

always giving, so forgiving,

like a happy place for any.


But the world is cruel, 

with stresses in air and soil, 

so, one day I saw them fall..

out of pure agony.


Just a small drain work, 

and digging of its base,

roots broken, protection gone,

strong rainstorm broke their will.


I was heartbroken, 

could only spectate,

grieve the loss and wish,

farewell my friends..from old days.
