To Our Mighty Friend Whose End Has Come



Long did we sit 'neath the shade of your branches,
Sheltered from sun and the rain,
But now you are gone, and much do were mourn,
And sunburt, we are filled with pain.

Alas, our dear maple, we had but one choice,
For your trunk had almost rot through.
And as dear as you were, and dear you are still,
We cherished our house more than you

( You can see that the top of our tree was dying, and actauly it had almost rotted compleatly though in the trunk)

(Dad attatched a chain from our mighty friend to another ash that was farther away from the house. The tree he was cutting down was actually leaning over out house)
Thankfully it didn't fall on the house. :)

Sniff, Sniff.

Dr. Eck's tree is all gone. It was a beautiful tree and the yard isn't the same without it. It makes me want to leave for college just so I won't have to look at the bare patch that was green all through my childhood. Sobs.
