Old Tree

I see the joyful children playing,
I hear the cheerful children laughing.
I smell the sweetness in the friendly air
I taste the sap in the stiff leaves,
I feel the innocence of the children.
Only if they had seen, what I had seen,
Only if they had known, what I had known,
All those children stolen, all those years ago
