Let me live...

I believed that I have been made for you,

and I always did.

Whatever I had, my breath, my body, my life

I offered you all.

I bore all the dust you flung on me,

Silently I bore it all.

Never did I demand anything,

Always survived on my own...

Always welcomed you in my shade.

You hurt me often,

I healed myself  each time.

just to serve you again.

but still you brought me down, why?

I felt, if not me, you would give my child a place to survive,

But you say, you don't have space.

I care for you.I know you need me,

And I am afraid, you might wipe out my existence, 

please don't do that to me..

You might not care to heed me.

You are the most superior being on earth,

and I am just a tree.
