One Tree Hill

One Tree Hill

My favorite place,

Shall not falter,

But slowly fade away.

There’s a tree that stands alone on top of a hill in our pasture,

Its positioned just right, so it’s large roots make a chair in the grooves,

I used to walk out there with you by my side,

We were alone, you couldn’t respond to my rants but your brown eyes comforted me.

I’ve cried at this tree that out looks our rolling pasture,

I’ve also screamed until it felt like my voice was gone.

But there’s always the great times, like playing fetch with you up on that hill

Or even just going out there to be alone, but I was never alone when I had you.

People aren’t lying when they say dogs are man’s best friend.

I still go out to that tree when I’m missing you,

But this time I am all alone.

I know you’re always with me in my heart and mind.

Bubba you were my first best friend and you will always have a place in my heart.

My furry friend is gone but our tree still stands,

The memories will stay with me forever,

Life continues to move on, but the memories stay with me

And the lonely tree, reminds me everyday that it all was real.
