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
