SEE THINGS THROUGH SOMEONE ELSE'S EYES

We all see the world through our eyes, but what if we start seeing it through the eyes of a so called dead entity such as a tree. For a second lets IMAGINE what if a tree could see, hear and has a cautiousness of its own; how will it see the world or us humans.Tree says:I was planted by a 2 year old with the help of his grandfather in front of their house. In a way I am just 2 years younger than that kid.I saw him every day running down his stairs and out of the house as he used to be late for school; with his silly little steps, trying to carry his over-sized back pack on his little shoulders. I saw him play, saw him study, saw him getting yelled at for his class work or home work; saw him getting worried about an assignment, saw him learn how to ride bicycle, saw him cry for a toy that he wanted, saw him as he laid down on his back counting stars, moon, clouds and wondering; what are they, and I saw him grow.Many seasons passed by; I grew up to be a big tree with yellow flowers and the kid by then started going to college. Now I saw him running out of his house as he was late for college, saw him riding his motor cycles, saw him sneaking in when he was late or got drunk with friends, saw him falling in love; chatting on his phone for hours with his girlfriend under my shade, saw him dealing with break ups, saw him worrying about his G.P.As, saw him as he laid down on his back counting stars, moon, clouds and wondering; how my life would be in years ahead, and I saw him grow.Now the kid is 25. He still comes running out of his house as he is late for office mostly, he still worries bout his work load when he takes long walks under me, and he still sneaks in on a late night out. He still cries some times for the one he loved and lost because of his stupidity,  I still see him laying down on his back seeing stars, moon and he wonders; how my life would have turned out if she was by my side, and I see him grow.I hear people saying that with time everyone changes. I think no one changes, people grow; they adapt things in order to sustain life. For example that kid; his back pack changed to briefcase, his worries changed but he still worries, his friends changed but he still finds happiness with friends, his reasons for looking at the sky and wondering changed but he still looks up and wonders. I am just a dumb tree but it’s my advice to all you humans; REMEMBER THAT LITTLE KID INSIDE OF YOU and SEE THINGS THROUGH SOMEONE ELSE'S EYES.
