Good Tree

Akolade Israel 2007 (Ogun State)

Sonnet
Like a bird you'll forever fly,
Soar and soar high and high,
Such is what large hearts contain,
Large hearts with various roots lain,
Much more energy apply,
But not on oneself rely,


A good Tree dies,
Beneficiaries cry,
In anger we reply,
But death has more to supply,
With inevitability we comply,
And see the cherished pass by,
The beauty that passes dry,
The beauty of a good tree that never lasts!
