There is a tree in New Hampshire, near a school, which never fails to amaze and mesmerize me. In fact, that tree is special to me because it literally is a part of my school life. The tree has very green leaves, chocolate brown trunks, and flowers that seem to be perfectly distributed around it. Near the tree, beneath its fresh and mildly swaying leaves, is a bench where I love to sit, either just to spend time or to relax myself from stress that I encounter due to the tiresome demands of school.
New Hampshire folks say that the tree, which I am not sure of which family it belongs but all I know is that it's a special tree to me, has been around for almost a century now. And this fascinated me more and draws me more to spend time with its beauty. I am wondering now that it must have captured the hearts of many New Hampshire people.

And, every time I get to have conversation about the tree with a student in the school, it is no ordinary to hear that the tree is a special tree. I heard a lot of happy stories in which the tree plays an important role. Then it all seems to me that this tree is a friend of everyone.
With the wide area that the leaves and flowers of this New Hampshire tree covers, early morning is a good time to spend under this tree. Every time I sit on the bench under this tree, while reading a newspaper, it feels like it is having a soft conversation with me because of the mild swaying of its leaves and the fresh smell of its flowers. This New Hampshire tree is really magnificent. I hope that it will continue to live long years and magically bear fresh leaves and flowers that young trees bear.
