Poem

Thanks dear Carol, for writing this in 05!


once upon a time
a very long time ago

a tree
a very special tree

decided to walk
and walk and walk

it came upon
a sound so clear

crying, crying
in its ears

oh cousin
of mine

why do you cry
is the ground not

good
is the ground too dry?

are your roots parched
but you look so green

"ah...the earth
the earth so mean

is not taking care
of our young ones you know

I cry for them
I cry so

My roots will have water
My heart will not be sad

Oh said the traveller
Oh, Oh and with all

Her might
She hugged him so

Her leaves were gone
She understoood

She too had cried
She too had stood

In land so barren
Caused by humans

So she decided to travel
To spread the word

Take care of the world
Take care of the woods

She hugged each tree
As she spied them in tears

Told them to pray
And eased all their fears

There's a human you know
Who will work for us

A Darcy boy
One we can trust

The two trees talked
for hours on end

The traveller left
The tears were dried

They knew a young man
Who would try and try and try!!
