Because I Love You
I stand upright
My hands, my branches, to the sun
I breathe in and out the light
I bend to cover you
My leaves your shelter
Our love you's are air
Given back and forth on the breeze
I withstand the seasons
You are there for my winter
My barren days, you love me no less
But a tree must live on
My life mingles among yours
But my rings are my own
I stand upright
