A Beautiful tree

I always could see a beautiful tree
Ever since I could first learn to see

From every window, the tree I could see
Adorning my world view, sheltering me

Tall and handsome and grand it looked
Not home, mainstay of our life it looked

Shade and fruits and ample cheer
With the Tree around we had nothing to fear

Stories of life we would always hear
Under its shade from far and near

The tree one could see from far and wide
Home was known by it, from all the sides

Proud as I was of this great Godly Gift
Who could imagine a cruel destiny's shift

One night it was standing tall and here
Morning it vanished to simply disappear

The tree was our roots, our home, our life
Destiny seemed to stab with it's very cruel knife

As I looked up to complain, God smiled at me
"It has served you all these years, now I need the tree!"
