The baby tree

I moved to a
new house
last August.
I left the
beautiful, baby
tree that I planted
in the back yard
of that house.
When the weather
was flaming hot outside,
the lovely leaves
the color of
St. Patrick's Day green,
slowly started turning
from green, to yellow,
to red, and finally, brown
and then, it looked away
from the world,
DEAD.
After that happened,
The leaves
started falling off
my wonderful,
brilliant,
baby tree.
A newborn in the world,
one
by
one,
falling
on the ugly, black ground.
