We and the Trees

We and the trees are alike, don't you agree? 

We and the trees grow, 

Sway in the breeze

We both have our roots, 

We and the trees.

Do we not too fear the winter?

Don't we and the trees?

Fear that the cold will expose our branches for all people to see?

Others seem evergreen whilst we shiver in the cold winter breeze. 

Without leaves to protect us from their gaze, both we and the trees.

We stand together, as a forest, we and the trees, 

barren for all to see 

stuck out here in the cold winter breeze, 

we and the trees!

Exposed, we, as the forest, stand together  in the cold winter breeze. 

We, who await the promise of spring. 

Hopeful that it's warmth will bring back the cover of leaves, for both we and the trees.
