As Days Get Long

I listen to the sound
The sound of the wind
Blowing through the tree

I see the tree
The tree on the ground
Shaken by the wind

And the leaves fall
When the time comes
When the days get short
And temperatures drop

But the tree stands
Throughout bitter cold
Weathering the storm

Until the sun comes up
And days get long
To start over again

To continue to grow
Without being chopped up
For firewood
