Lonely Tree Poem by Caroline Bulleck

I am a lonely tree, just standing here
I am supposed to be brave, but I have much fear
What if some people come to chop me down
I could become firewood in some town
I am a lonely tree, just standing here
I am supposed to be brave, but I have much fear
What if an animal burrows into my trunk?
They'll eat me away chunk buy chunk
I am a lonely tree, just standing here
I am supposed to be brave, but I have much fear
What if lightning splits me in to
I'll be done, through and through
I am a lonely tree, just standing here
I am supposed to be brave, but I have much fear
What if a drop comes my way?
All dry up and fade away
Oh, woe is me! Woe is me!
I am truly a lonely tree
To think that I'll die a sad and lonely tree,
Because one of these could come for me
