An Ode to the Mother Tree
A beautiful scene A shady spot When times get tough Or days get hot.
A story to be told A sight to see Rooted in our courtyard Is a beautiful tree.
God knows the details of its leaves Like the number of hairs on my head A work of art, a masterpiece Is what Our Father said.
Always watching, always listening But never one to judge No matter what you see or hear You’ll never hold a grudge.
You’ve witnessed wars and disasters Rebirth, love, and life You’ve seen schools destroyed and rebuilt And holy union of husband and wife.
