Olive Tree

Olivia Sikes ‘21

You are the sun To my leaves. Sweeter than the olives That fall from my branches. I want to be Your olive tree, To shield you From the darkness Of the world.

I want my leaves To kiss your face. I want my branches To meet your embrace. So someday, If you wish, You may lean on my trunk And rest with me Under my humble olive tree.
