The Words I Write

When I became of age someone introduced me to a tree...
And then they said," Your grandfather planted that tree for you
to see."

Before I die I'll plant a tree...
And then my grandson will have a tree that he can see.

What we plant and sow will live beyond our day...
And that's one reason that I cherish the words I write and say.
