'Tree'ly Yours

To my dearest human friends, 

Hope you all are well, 

Wow, '#nature' is trending these days! 

Makes me happy, but is it worth it? 

To cry with that unbearable pain, 

When the ax hits us? 

A soul or two passes by me, 

Their kind touches are all I need. 

Some, though, have showered their rudeness, 

It hurts, but you are my children, 

And parents' love is beyond what hurts parents. 

However, my tree-friends have paid for this, 

And I have watched them silently, 

Make their way to heaven, muttering a silent obituary. 

Today, in my deathbed, as I sit and pen this, 

I request you to save my dying friends from this viciousness. 

Yours lovingly, 

A dying tree.
