An Ode to the Mango Tree

I love trees with all my heart. There are so many that I have come across and fallen in love with instantly. But, my most favourite and special tree will always be of mango. Mango trees simply equal home for me. I have been meaning to do this for a long time, but here is a love letter I finally sat down to write to my beloved mango trees whose presence around me I will always cherish and where ever I find them I could feel at home there.

No matter where I live
I see you there
In front of a window or balcony
My dear Mango Tree.

When I see you
I feel at ease.
Any place feels home
Wherever I roam.

Your fresh crimson baby leaves
Your starry cluster of flowers
Your ripe hanging fruits of gold
Are all sights to behold.

Your wise old bole
And the plush round canopy,
That grace with which you stand
Brings cheerfulness to any land.

You are not just a tree
You are a friend
Who comforts me
Just by being in my vicinity.
