Puritan

I have lived my whole life in a little house on a small stretch of land.  Before I was born my father planted a tree in my backyard.  This tree was a tall and mighty tree and was called Martin and I was named after this tree.  As i grew older so did the tree.  As i neared my time of dieing I remember seeing the tree slowly lose each branch one by one.  So as i died so did the tree.  This taught me that nothing can last forever, not even the mightiest tree in the world.  srry for the late post i was sick all weekend and just got up to do this fast
