Kneeling
I sit by the old Grandfather trees
I think about nature; the birds,flowers,bees
My Grandmother met her lover here
He was a sailor stationed near
They sat between these two trees
In the grass, they're on their knees
He tells her about his job sailing the sea
She smiles and listens under the Grandfather trees
He sees her here everyday after
Each page they turn, is a new chapter
On her birthday he mader her a swing
Over time, the roots grew up in between
Entangling themselves with each other
They swore they'd never find another
He asked for her hand
Under the Grandfather trees sand
They got married on the 5th of May
But he had to leave the very next day
He told her to wait under those trees
She said she'd wait, forever on her knees
Every morning and every night
She was there, in that sight
But he never came back
He was never on track
She got a letter one day
She couldn't bear to read what'd it say
His ship had sunk
In an enemy bay
Her eyes filled up with tears
As she ran, ran to the pier
Nothing could subside
What she felt inside
She went back to the Grandfather trees
As I sit here and touch its leaves
I pull out its grass
And remember the last
Thing she said to me....
"Your love is as strong as roots
They go through hard times
But are forever there
They'll tell the story of you love,
But will always keep the old ones as reminders,
As they make way for new stories to come"
