The Ole' Beech Tree
The ole beech tree
has so many memories and
so much history
They say you can figure the age of
a tree by the circles around
But on this ole beech there are
far too many circles for me to count
The ole beech tree provides us with
shade from the sun
It's also close to the place we shoot
our guns
The ole beech tree was there when I
drank too much and threw up
and believe it or not that ole beech tree
helped me to stand back up
The ole beech tree was there when people
fell down
The ole beech tree helped stopped them
from falling down the hill
The ole beech tree is a place where several
birds come to nest
It's also a place at night where the owls come
to rest
The ole beech tree is a playground for the
squirals to play
In the fall it's leafs are so pretty I could sit
and look at it all day
The ole beech tree stands close to the camp
fire which is my favorite place to be
The ole beech tree has heard everyones
stories
The ole beech tree is filled with everyones
secrets but that's ok
For if you ever need to vent the ole beech tree
will listen to you all day
The old beech tree is wise beyond it's
years
If something ever happens to that ole
beech tree so many would be in tears
Even through some of the strongest storms
and weather that ole beech tree still stands tall
I pray that ole beech tree lives forever and never
does fall
