The old tree of the yard of my workplace collapsed suddenly and hit the lamp post, luckily I was not standing there, luckily the gardener was not doing his duty there… luckily….
It was not raining before the fall, but it rained heavily few hours after that.

The building you see here is not our company, it’s just another company at the opposite road.
The lane in front of this lamp post is within our company’ pemise instead.
Farewell to the old tree, oh…
Good bye too, to the lamp post
It’s now time for you both to go
As you know, you both already old
I thought the rain has not arrived yet
But why you both just collapse like that
Just like life, we won’t know what we get
Any moment, one may just go, oh, that’s sad
Fallen tree and lamp post shall be taken away
New ones shall be replaced very soon some day
But if someone was there, different thing I will say
Thanks Goodness, no one was hurt and all still safe
My recent post :
Nice one. A little bit sentimental
Oh,that was sad one..good thing no one is hurt
I do hope you hang your poem on the wall at work, so everyone can remember these old friends! Nice work
The tree and lamp post had an eternal relationship. When one goes the other follows.
