The Tree falls with weight.

It has seen you grow and learn.

Count the years in bands.


The author's comments:

I find being able to tell how old a tree is by how many rings are in the trunk genuinely fascinating. It provides a perspective on how old a tree can be and all the years it's stood through. I wanted to write about such rings and the life of trees with this poem.
