The Tree


A piece of dirt around a root
May life it give and forward put
Growing strong, never weak
Standing on a mountain peak
Catches rain and gives off air
Keeps pushing up with strength and care
Will always be a sight to see
Will always give some shade for me
Will keep me dry when it rains
Will help me grow with all my pains
A tree for me, a tree for you
Came from seed, some soil and dew
