The tree

There was a man who once planted a tree
Young he was, inexperienced like a candle unlit
Careful but blind he rests his life on the tree
Alas, along came a machine that shredded it
He cried tears falling like the rain
Regaining control, he goes to the garden
He took his time, planted again
Alas, along came a machine that shredded it
Countless trees he planted
Each one never bore fruit
For the machine was relentless
Old and tired, time taken its toll
He stands in the graveyard o f trees
A new tree in his hand
One last time
He hears the sound, a breeze
