I cannot walk and yet I live
In the forest free
With all my friends, the shrubs and plants
You see - I am a tree!
A mighty pine, a gift from God
A long long life I've had
My cones I generate each year
And yet I still feel sad
For winter is a lonely time
So lonely for a tree
My friends are now all fast asleep
But what is this I see?
Two humans walking down the path
Arm in arm, so kind
They've come to see my forest friends
And left their own behind
They stop, look up and gaze at me
I'm pleased to see them, too
I wave my snowy boughs at them
Through the wintry hue
They smile and say kind words to me
They have respect, that's clear
And on a lonely winter's day
A word can be so dear
For words can be so comforting
So gentle - and, to me
They so respect the fact that I
Am just a mighty tree
But trees have feelings in their veins
A gift from God above
Trees can feel both hurt and pain
And also they feel love
And so farewell, my human friends
Your visit was a boon
I know you'll visit at some time
Please come and see me soon!
I wave my snowy boughs again
The breeze it makes me sigh
And as the evening star doth rise
I hate to say "Goodbye"

Oh Benji... what a pleasant read... such fanciful depictions and so true..

I see this thru my inner child's mind, and fall in love with the concept as it carries me along.. so enjoyable..
