Mountain Ash

in a time long ago i was just two leaves growing so slow looking for an open space to grow my branches at my pace dreaming of the giant i would become if i only can catch some light and sun mountain ash is my name i am a king in my domain i seek the light and grow so tall for a thousand years before i fall no other tree ,flowers as tall as me guarding the forest as time passes bye i am a soldier reaching the sky i have seen a time you will never know one thousand years i have seen it snow sharing my space with others of my kind we have lived forever in the dream time we are not wood chip just for you we are a species old and new allow us to live ,as we were meant to be as the Tasmanian giant for the world to see i am mountain ash
