A Tree's Prayer
A tall shaggy tree standing made a prayer
The dancing sunlight rest on ripple shine,
Like birds the leaves perch high in air,
Who long to wind and blow without a sigh
Where over rainbow a fairyland,
And autumn sunset golden shimmering light,
Those stars are sparkling gazing far look grand,
The blossoms scatter, dreamily silent night
Of plenty fantastic things to see at far,
The leaves would rather stay close to thee,
Our mother tree with kindness bright as star,
None dream compare the care and love of she
Whatever thunder lightening struck by us,
No matter what shan’t perish our love thus.

I am a 9th grader in the Pennington school. I wrote this sonnet for my mother. The poem is about how leaves want to go out and explore the world, but they come to their mother in the end, for their great love for their mother and don't want to leave her behind. It is a very contradictory thing that a mother wants her children to experience life but at the same time need them by her side.
