A Tree Survives



Looking across the prairie
as far the eye can see, an
old farmhouse stands empty,
just it, and one small tree.


The small stubby tree stands
like a beacon in the wind
waiting, hoping for it's
house to be occupied again.


If that lone tree could speak,
what tales it could weave
of families who lived there
for a while, then up and leave.


Maybe this little tree thinks
if it hangs on as long as it can,
some nice family will come again
and give its home a helping hand.
