Little tree

Little tree upon the hill
I see you there as I walk by
And see you standing oh so still
Do I hear a great big sigh?
As you quietly watch the bipeds die.

I didn't intend to be quite so blunt with the verse, but really...what are we doing!!

[Carole G]

Very appropriate verse under the circumstances.

Sends a strong message with that verse that we ought not to skip over.

"The trees die standing.
And I will die kneeling ...
Before the green grass,
Before the rose, before the rainbow! "
(Sztaudynger )
