"Favorite"


“Favorite”

There’s a tree growing up
allowing me to climb daily
only so far at first as young
both the tree and me too
yet as we aged higher up
both the tree and me too
we were each other’s favorite
spending hours talking
sometimes just quietly sitting
feeling the breezes often
spring, summer and fall
now in the winter’s cold
no longer to climb so high
both of us in aging’s trap
ice forming on the branches
same as on – in my lungs
we were each other’s favorite
eternally friends meant to be!
