If I Were A Tree



If I were a tree, 
I would be a sight to see.
With leaves that shake and shimmer,
from gold to silver, I would glimmer.


If  I were a tree, 
I would live by the stream,
We would share stories of old.
Friends through the warm, and the cold.


If I were a tree,
Seasons would change my leaves
From green to yellow to red.
And eventually my leaves would shed.

If I were a tree,
The wind would take my leaves.
But the wind I would forgive..
Because to the world I would give

 If I were a tree,
My roots would be deep.
but my branches high and free.
If I were a tree.
