She Wears a Pine Tree On Her Sweater
She wears a pine tree on her sweater,
her skirt is the green of the valley,
gray hair done up in long braids,
she is someone's grandma who
has seen a few miles as her wrinkles show,
a woman who has kept her glow.
She wears a pine tree on her sweater,
friends know that she enjoys the outdoors,
taking walks with her trusty old dog
along the lower trails of the mountain near,
carrying her diamond willow walking stick
helping her from tripping which is a trick.
She wears a pine tree on her sweater,
donates to environmental causes,
receiving sets of self-addressed labels
which she applies to envelopes of
recycled paper of Christmas cheer,
showing Bambi the loving and sweet deer.
She wears a pine tree on her sweater,
a symbol of wisdom and longevity,
it is a sacred one among the tribes
of the land of the Red Sunrise,
she is a proud American Native,
who displays her tree as being creative.
