MY TREE




No-one knows the story, only me
No-one knows the wisdom
Of the old oak tree
He stood alone for many years
And watched the world go by
He sees the ever-changing shapes
Of clouds high in the sky

He talks to all the people,
Although they never listen
But I suspect the children know
That he sheds some tears that glisten
Because he feels so lonely
And very, very sad
That everyone in the world today
Seems so very bad.

But through the daily troubles
My tree still stands, so still
And straight and mighty
With an overwhelming will
To spend the time, so patiently,
To await the coming days
When the world will slowly calm itself
And gently change its ways.
