Shedding, sighing.

You once gave us shed, Now, we are just watching you shed, And it makes me shed a tear. There is the tree that i alway see when we go to the cemetery. It is an acacia tree. This acacia tree was once full or life, leaves so green and had those orange colore flowers, now...it is dying or possibly dead. Maybe this tree is now old. Too old that caused its death, or maybe no. With the road widening, the tree are surrounded with cemented road, somehow made me think, that must have caused it too. I am not being sentimental with the case of this tree, but we have been losing this kind of trees along the highway. Sigh. Can not help to be saddened. Things have to be sacrificed for the so called "progress".

The road works may have caused the tree to die, this is very sad.

Many people have cars, and to give way for those, they have to widen the road and the tree was sacrificed

I have seen familiar seen when I went to Pampanga. The highway was full of lively acacia tree, but because of road widening, the cheerful trees were cut down.

It's so sad when trees die or have to be cut down. We have had to remove huge ones before they fell on our house.
