Tree Life

Tree Life The big tree so grand that there you stand With years abound on your trunk Many seasons to count under your canopy You must have reason for being there With your branches so proud, so wide and free But who knows why you got planted here Oh but the tales you could tell of protecting all Winter you bear your broad oak beams for all to see and admire A resting places on short days for birds and squirrels Whilst they check the food tables, can they get there before other’s Owls on a winter’s night do hoot, where’s my night attire Come the spring your leaves do grow And camouflage you nice and slow, All are welcome in your branches When they will take their chances, To find the best place that they know And hoping it will not snow, Their new families they must bring Into the world this new spring 20-3-16
