Seeds were scattered all over the place
Some have fallen on stoney ground
But there was only one that caught his attention
He scooped it up and gave it undivided attention
The seed grew into a beautiful plant
Like any other plant it has it's flaws
But only in his eyes, it was perfect
He continued to take care of it every single day
Time has gone by in a blink of an eye
The plant has grown into a tree
Like any other plant it's flaws are still there
Magnified by it's mass
But after so many years
He has learnt how to appreciate it
Both have met each other's needs
Just by looking at the tree every single day satisfied his need
And the tree was watered, cared for and being loved
The man grew old as time passed by
The tree was still as beautiful as ever

On his bed, he looked out of the window
He thought to himself, that is the most beautiful tree he has ever seen in his life.
Memories began to flood his mind
How he had another one before this
But it died even before it became a plant
He said "But none can compare to this one!"
He knew it was time,
But he just want another glimpse at the tree
Tiredness over took his passion
