An Evergreen with a Vagabond Gene

I’m a small evergreen with a vagabond gene,

 I was dropped in this root in July.

It's a deciduous tree, yet it’s perfect for me,

although, I can’t figure out why.

It seems pretty clear Tree knows that I’m here,

but I haven’t caused any frustration.

Tree knows I’m a tree but not that I’m me,

with my evergreen orientation.

Now it happens that Tree has been sheltering me

from the wind and the sleet and the rain.

We’ve been bonding it seems, with our schemes and our dreams,

we’re so different, it’s hard to explain.

By the time Tree perceives I’m not losing my "leaves",

I will probably seem like the norm.

We have plans for our life, so whatever the strife,

together we’ll weather the storm.
