Because he came from his dad and the dad took care of them and they ate off of the tree and the speaker and his siblings are the tree's  family and he grew old and they grew older.the children are pecking at the the protective bark to find his emotions. the tree is getting old so he gets thicker. And since he is getting older he could have a sickness since it took years to peck through his bark.the reason that i say that is because he is more worried about his surroundings.the speaker also compares his dad to a one hundred year old tree he said even in his 30's and 40's so i think that they call him a one hundred year old tree i think because he has been through a lot and the children are pecking away all those years and they want to know what has gotten in to him and WHY? and WHAT IS CAUSING THIS ? they know there dad is acting different they want to know what is happening.
