“Standing Next To Me”


 


Like a little seed


You lay so deep within my heart


And day after day


Within my dreams of love


I can feel you growing


Like this old oak tree


Spreading your roots


In different directions


And like a little NUT on the ground


You toss me around like a squirrel


Rolling downhill


Yelling


Catch me it you can


But you never do


You just pick me up


Again


And


Again


When I fall


And put me right back


In your big heart


Just to make me fall again


Yes fall for the joke


My life became


But maybe one day


This


NUT


Will find a final resting place one day


And another tree


Will overshadow me


Maybe they will find love


And live in harmony


With you my friend


Still standing


Next to me

It's always wonderful to have good friends standing next to you - even if they do toss you about like a 'nut' once in a while!

This is different, I liked it. It took a different direcion than I initially expected. Personally, I've been the sap for a few trees more than a few times.

I'm glad that you're a sweet nut among among us hardheaded coconuts. Sweet ode to friendship, Tinka. I'm skipping down the path, trip and then roll down the hill only to find you giving me a hand up. But thats how friendships are...

Uniquely nutty! lol Sorry it's a
longing to be the only nut. Well

the other nuts in the forest and

This is a precious and hopeful write, Tinka, depicting the human struggle that we each face and our hope for those who follow us to have much more in their lives than we have had in our own. Written with the heart of a mother and a soul that never gives up on mankind.
Take care,
Sherry
