Oak Tree

[shadow_scribe]

Hid behind the oak tree in the garden;
Tell me what you see.
I see a chubby, fat boy,
His pig eyes squeezed tight,
Counting "25, 24, 23..."
I giggle and hide
Behind the tree.
He'll never find me.

I see a dark building looming
Over me.
Kids walk up nervously to the door,
Waiting for another hard day of work.
They have no escape plan for now;
The worried looks tell all.
My secret beloved walks by,
Talking to his friends and
Doesn't notice me.
I blush and hide behind the tree.

I see two lovers,
Holding hands,
Walking,
Talking,
Laughing.
They kiss passionately;
Oh how cute it is!
Look at how we've grown.

I see a vegetable patch.
My husband is admiring my work.
He smiles.
I breathe easy and soon fall asleep, proud of my
Work.

I see a gravestone.
Dead roses lie on the cold ground.
"Beloved friend, adored son, loved husband."
We've lived a good life together.

Hide behind the oak tree in the garden;
Tell me what you see.
