If I Were a Tree

I’d be in groups of those like me, So many things that I would see, Some bark and leaves, there’d always be, If I were a tree. I’d stand there in dominancy, Some folk like my supremacy, In thousand years still there I’d be, If I were a tree. Please make the view look good, the plea, Not often spotted near the sea, To say I’m wondrous would be twee, If I were a tree. Some animals, their homestead’s me, The branch a perch for birdies three. I’d help you feel tranquility, If I were a tree. So now in all sincerity, I’ll take my leave and set you free, The dream fulfilled, the role for me, If I were a tree. If I were a tree 27 January 2021
