My Tree

I've heard some say that i'm a talented poet,

it's like i'm gifted and I don't even know it,

apparently something in my words must show it,

but to me words are a tree, i'm just here to grow it,

let it flourish and inspire those with desire,

every year watch it grow just a little bit higher,

and with every leaf a new thought is designed,

they'd circle the world if they stood in line,

the shade from my tree, laced with rythm and rhyme,

and it's only growing bigger as i pass through time,

because the older i get, the more knowledge i gain,

the things i've felt, leaves me forever changed,

for better or worse, who's really to tell,

walking through life, i feel my heart shrink and swell,

Maybe these are just tests, trials of courage,

die if you fail, or live on mentally nourished,

i guess we'll all find out further down the river,

in a boat made from a tree, which my thoughts delivered.
