Your limp body lies in my hands. You quiver in the wind. I try to warm you.
But it is too late.
You are too young to die.
Much of life was ahead of you.
To contribute to the world. To make a difference.
You did not grow tall and beautiful.
Your life was too short.
I hold you tight, as if I could squeeze life back into you.
I cannot.
No one cries for you.
but me
No one care about you.
but me
You are a tree,
but no one cares
but me
