I looked down upon the grassy oelds I
call my home, my roots stand strong.
I cast shade upon the people who
play under my branches. I live in the
middle of a central park, in the middle
of a seacoast island town. I9ve seen
this town transition from forests to
urbanization, I9ve witnessed their
people grow, and seen my companions

toddlers and orst set foot in this park.
I watched them grow, and sometimes,
before school, they stop by me to climb
on my branches.

hold, they can do anything they want,
and they take movement for granted.
