You’ll Miss Me

I was there

From your birth

Cradled you

Above the earth

Protected you

From harm

As you slept

In my arms

Sheltered you

From the rain

Cured you

From pain

I gave you

Your breath

But you brought

Me death

You cut

Me down

Ripped me

From the ground

Ages of

Wisdom lost

But you see

No cost

You think

You replace me

With your

Metal beams

Your strong

Steel walls

Your new

Shelters tall

But they

Will fall

When you've

Taken all

When no more

I stand

When you've

Scorched the land

When you

Cannot breathe

In your

Toxic greed

Then you'll

Wish for me

For your dead

Mother tree

And you'll miss me
