I envy trees their strength
They stand so deeply rooted
Nothing can move
The tree
A tree has room for all
Reaches out to everyone
Even when someone pushes it away
The tree is there
There for them
With a branch outstretched
I lean and listen
I listen to the quiet
I stand with my cheek
Touching the cool trunk
I feel the strong gentle support
Of the tree
A soothing rustle in the breeze
Is enough
The tree
Has no doubt
It stands firm
Certain
I wish I had
The strength
The will
The love
The gentle spirit
The heart
Of the tree
They stand so deeply rooted
Nothing can move
The tree
A tree has room for all
Reaches out to everyone
Even when someone pushes it away
The tree is there
There for them
With a branch outstretched
I lean and listen
I listen to the quiet
I stand with my cheek
Touching the cool trunk
I feel the strong gentle support
Of the tree
A soothing rustle in the breeze
Is enough
The tree
Has no doubt
It stands firm
Certain
I wish I had
The strength
The will
The love
The gentle spirit
The heart
Of the tree
