Little tree
Little tree
why do U
call 2 me?
is it b/cuz
U stand alone
in an open
field
U beckon to me
to look
to watch
to see your inner strength
how U despite
your surroundings
the harsh weather
people wanting 2 cut you down
your leaves fadin'then fallin'
but U call 2 me and say
Look and watch me g r O W
despite the despites
I, little tree
am strong
Touch me
feel how tough my exterior is
it wards off all, protects thru the many storms
check out my roots
touch and witness how sturdy they are
follow them and notice that they
will lead to my persistent interior
Now watch me be BEAUTIFUL
I'm feelin' good and the fruit
of the earth and rain from the heavens
nourish me
the hues of my leaves
tell that story
soon however, my changes no doubt
will occur
G E T R E A D Y
to watch me,
W A T C H M E I S A Y
I, little tree am calling 2 U
so U too can learn
2 b
strong
Like me, like me
Little tree, Little tree.

We Wonder where you are
to thank you for the gold sweet fruit
you did weave from distant star.
