like an elder to us children
you have witnessed years and years
share some of your wisdom oh big tree
sprouting forth from a humble seed
growing into so great a plant
when I see you I am with awe
I am not without respect oh tree
our children play around you
many animals need you for shelter
the fungi throng your roots
the birds make you their home
yet evil men cut you down
build stuff with your wood
foolish men they know not
the value of the life of the living tree
every morning you greet the sun
with your green attire so distinct
and dance in the wind left and right
like a joyful being full of love
let me then remind myself
that I should everyday care for you
oh lovely tree and make sure that
you may continue to grow tall
