A Tree Spoke To Me
| I always felt so close to trees Spiritual in every way Sometimes I would relate to them To hear what they had to say
As I stood by an old oak tree with my arms extended wide I could tell it wanted to speak to me As I heard its words were filled with pride
I've protected thousands of birds nests Watched the fledglings as they grew I proudly displayed my colors in spring For all to enjoy natures view
But now I know I'm in danger For I see my fellow trees As they are cut down to build houses And sadly watch their falling leaves
I know that the world's getting larger With malls being built every day But if only they would honor us Before cutting us down this way
We've lived here so many years We're tall, we're strong and alive Show a simple gesture of kindness Before taking our precious lives
Tears filled up my saddened eyes For the tree spoke the truest words They too were put here on this earth But their words are never heard
