I walk to see

Our favorite tree

I pick a pear

And lay there

Peering below

Into the meadow

Where the buttercups grow

Where we used to run

Under the shining sun

I seem happy

But I'm not letting anyone see

The pain within me

I put on a smile

But I haven’t truly done so in a while

I look like I’m fine

But I’m broken inside

 I begin recalling memories

When you were still with me

And we were happy

My dear mommy

I think as I lay

It will get better day by day

I look back to see

Our favorite tree

And I now recall why

This tree makes me cry
