The Home I Knew

The following work was written and submitted to the Podium by our brother Emily Richardson:

I sat beneath the Tree one night

Which ten years ago was fresh and new

I was not here to see it grow

To tend the seeds that it would show

Instead I sat from year to year

And when I smiled from ear to ear

The Tree smiled with me through the day

And when I mourned I heard it say

"You're more than this" and it was right

So as I sat there through the night

We grew together, the Tree and I

The home I knew
