A SIMPLE LITTLE TREE
I remember when they chopped my down
And placed me in a truck,
They told me I'd be happy
And I was definitely in luck.
I was told I'd been chosen
To give some girls and boys,
A very Happy christmas,
And on my branches would be toys.
I was to have lights of red
Green and yellow too,
Lots of sparkling tinsel
With ornaments of blue.
I felt quite excited
Of the job I was to do,
They placed me in a window
So my bright lights would shine through.
On the very top of me
They placed a shining star,
I felt I must look beautiful
Standing straight, and standing tall.
For days and days they loved me
As they brought their friends to see,
Every day I heard from them,
We love you Christmas tree.
I knew when I was very young
I was planted for a reason,
I knew I would be picked someday
Just for this festive season.
The children do not notice me
My job for them is done,
I over hear them saying
Christmas sure was fun.
They leave me in the darkness now
I'm no more a treat,
Tomorrow I heard them say
They will toss me on the street.
My days upon this earth are done
But with sun, and rain you see,
In the forest where I lived
There grows another tree.
And next year when you chop it down
I hope that you will see,
To plant another in it's place
A SIMPLE LITTLE TREE.
