The Two Trees

On a hill in a far away land two olive trees grow

In their sapling years they were small and far apart

But as time passed they grew and their branches began to touch. Time continued to pass and their branches became intertwined. The more time passed the more intertwined they became. Eventually they appeared to be one tree. Sadly one of the trees became ill, it’s branches slowly dying, drying up and falling. The other tree did it’s best to hold up it’s partner but to no avail soon the other tree died crumbling to the ground. Now there is only the one tree alone dreaming the day it will intertwine it ‘s branches once again with the one he loved.

I Love You Felecia
