I love poetry and lately I have had this poem going through my head. I hope you enjoy!
The Seed Is young and has sprouted with joy
It dances and sways like his mother does
Young and free amongst the trees
Young and free to grow as he please
The spring has sprung it’s youthful song
Sweet summer winds blow in from the east
A new air has come with the summer sun
The young tree still dances as it should
But now with wisdom
throughout its wood
He is not alone in his dance for another seed snatches his glance
She dances and flutters in the summer sun soon they know they both will become one
Fall is the time to fall in love
They both dance in the autumn sun
Their leaves have changed with colors beyond
A new little life has taken flight
They are happy together as three
The winter winds make them dance in varying ways
But they stay strong as they sway.
Their bones are brittle and have less strength
The loving lady can not take She sways and swishes but can not hold on
She knows it’s time to just move on.
She danced her last in the winter sun she said goodbye to her love and son
The seasons have changed and time has gone by
All that is left is a stump by his side
But in his sway he remembers her gaze in his dance he remembers their days
He is old and his bark is grey but he still sees her the same way.
Now it is time for his last goodbye as he remembers the way they danced
Soon I will see you , soon, at last.

That is a good question! The lady dies to show how life gives and takes. Yet death is always sad it shows that he still loves her and will never forget her. It shows the beauty and sadness of what life has to offer. I hope that answers your question 😊
