Apple Trees

One two three, one two three, Open your eyes for me, Look at the apple tree Under the sun. Can you remember them? Suzie and Adrian? Philip and Miriam? Even your son? Grandchildren come to you, Hoping you’d see them too, But if they only knew That you weren’t there. Apple trees follow ‘cause All you remember was One special moment where Nothing compares. Mind is now fading and Slowly degrading and I cannot understand That we grow old. We all remember you Dressed in your navy blue, But if you only knew Stories you told. One two three, one two three, Open your eyes for me, Look at the apple tree, Watch it with glee.
