A Big Old Tree, That Spoke To Me
A big old tree
It spoke to me
And showed me how the world could be
By telling stories of when he was young
Millions of trees among him hung
Shaking leaves in unison
A verdant green beneath the sun
All gone now except but one
A big old tree
That spoke to me
And made it all but clear to see
How the world should really be
About this poem
A metaphor about the connection between our past and future
