My Home

The leaves of this tree blow like a fiery blaze
Birds glide across the crystal blue sky and swoop down onto this tree
This tree is tall as the sky
The ground is shadowed by this tree and shelters me in the night

This tree’s wisdom spreads across its roots  
Advising me with my troubles
It keeps a gentle eye over the goings on far below
And treats me softly when I am hurt or upset

Some trees are like witches
Black claws scratching the fences
But this one is quite the opposite
It watches over me like a mother
