The Lament of a Tree

So, people may not notice who I am. They tend to treat me like I am nothing. Oh, for God’s sake! They are all wrong! They need to know that I play the important role in their life. They do need me! They for sure cannot live without me.

“Then, why don’t they respect me?” I said to myself. Oh, it has been a big question for years and years for me. I have been trying to find all the answers and I couldn’t.

I then saw the things around me. The sun shined, and a robin on one of my arms.

The robin said “There! Look! How great our Lord is! See, the greens around us?”

I was so amazed with the beauty I saw in the faraway land across the lake in this huge green house. For a moment, I felt that I was not so lonely. For once in my life, I could forget all the fear I have. I felt that I am so great, so wonderful. I felt like I have my part in contributing the beauty to the universe. For once in my life, I felt that I am so useful in humanities life. They needed me to live their life.

Then the reality hit me. I looked at the greens in faraway land I normally see every time I was awake. I knew that it may be the last time I see them.

I looked around me and I saw the losses I have faced. I have lost my mother, my father, my family and friends. So, far I could only see the bare land. It was not as green as when I was a kid. From far, I could hear someone murmuring, complaining about awaken early morning to do his jobs. I knew that it was just about the time. Oh, no, he was getting closer!

“Oh, my friends, I am going to miss you!” I said to my self

I then took a deep breath, and tried to smile. I enjoyed the last sun shine in my face, and I then fell...the blade was so painful. Still, I tried to bear on the pain, then, oh..no..I couldn’t..and lastly before I closed my eyes, I feel that I was no longer in pain.
