Analysis of Eucalyptus Tree



Have you seen the eucalyptus tree in the
Park?
Just after sunset, before dark,
Black lace against the sky,
Shimmering in the breeze passing by.
Many times I walked right by,
It never even caught my eye.
One day, I reached right up and picked a leaf.
It smelled so good I pick some more.
Was just like the medicine Mom got at the
Store.
Now as each day passes, on my walk by the
Eucalyptuses.
I smile, as I remember all my Mom's
Kisseses.
