Stella's Paper Bark Tree

Paper bark tree stands tall,

Towering over the gently flowing water. 

It is old and wise and protects all the animals with habitat.

It is soft to touch and woody to smell,

Reminding people of winter while snuggled up in front of a glowing fireplace.

It moves slowly from side to side in the wind,

So beautiful it could be a ballet dancer.

The tree and stream can calm people in an instant.

The tree is a lion,

Protecting animals big and small,

Like a mother with her baby.
