Dad's Spring

Dad’s Spring
When spring said bye to the tree,
My dad said bye to me
When the leaves shed from the tree,
He shed off from the family, flew up free

When spring’s departure took the birds away from the tree,
He took away the energy and enthusiasm from me
When spring’s departure drained water from the tree,
He drained the need to live from me

When spring’s departure stopped the growth of tree,
His departure stopped my walk of life
When spring’s departure makes the bark hard,
His departure made us a stone, emotionless

When spring’s departure made a tree skinny and weak,
His departure made me skeletal and brittle
When spring’s departure took away tree’s shade,
His departure made me unsecure without his hugging hands

When spring’s departure promised the tree of another spring,
His departure promised of another happy life
