Trees

Written 1990

Verse 1:
there are trees everywhere
I watch them and learn
they do not despair
when their leaves start to turn
they know the cycles move
in a pattern sublime
with nothing to prove
trees have plenty of time

Refrain:
with roots that are strong
and growing each day
reach up where you belong
through storms you will but sway
rejoice in your heart
let your spirits swell
for we are all a part
of the wisdom trees may tell
listen well

Verse 2:
roots spreading wide
trees reach toward the sun
the wonder inside
is shown to everyone
the seasons repeat
and they continue to grow
advance and retreat
you reap what you sow

Refrain.

listen well
