Pink Tree

As it sways in the summer
its petals are bright as ever
stuck in their place on my pink tree

As those petals drop in the fall
they brush against my window 
in a flurry of pink and gray

When the bare tree hits its limbs against my window
it is a reminder to hold tight
the petals will return next spring
brighter than before
