Solitaire

All alone I sit here for what feels like eternity
Standing upright and never moving away
I miss all my family
Now I only see stumps
I’m only a fragile old tree
The sun never even bothers to come around anymore
So, I don’t grow taller
I shrink
But wait I hear something
Is this my end or is this a new beginning?
The sounds grow louder
I feel a tugging on my arm
It’s some kids and a tire swing
After all this time I have friends
Laugh. Play. Fun.
Finally, I’m happy
