The Love-shaped Tree
The Love-shaped Tree
Every day they came to the tree
And talked sweet nothing into each others ears
Everyday the tree would overhear
And be amused
Everyday the lover boy
Stayed back a few minutes and shaped the tree
Everyday the tree unhappily lost
Numerous branches to the cutters glee
One day they had a fight
And stopped their meeting midway
The same day the tree
Contemplated the situation sadly
The next day there was no meeting
But the boy came to the tree to give up his life
The girl followed too, and joined him immediately
But the tree remained, reshaped now as a heart of the eternal love
