When Trust is Pruned

If you've ever felt pretty

Or valued so wide

The growth kept on greening

The branches confide

As though the surroundings

Would have ever more

Of your blooming and greening

Towards expansion du jour.


In years of your habit

Maturing in height

Someone decides

"I'll prune you tonight."

For any who have had their

Trust pruned or sheared,

May your branches recover

More lush than last year.
