Cherry Tree

Cherry blossom fell like confetti In the wind, but there was no bride Or groom only a pair of robins On the grass beneath the cherry tree. A winding path led to a church once Full now empty; redundant in a society Trying to survive on pay day loans To pay absent landlords. The cherry tree had seen a different Time, a time when the church was full And people sat beneath it, a time When the world smiled. Now the world just turned and groaned But the cherry tree remained the same Throughout, each passing year it would Blossom and cherry blossom would fall And robins would play beneath it.
