The Apple Tree

Tucked away in the garden,
Swaying in the breeze,
A little apple tree stands,
Trying to look like a big tree.
But no matter what it does,
It can’t stand tall.
Finally, a bloom starts to grow,
When an apple springs up, the tree will start to grow,
But until then little tree you need to stand tall.
Look around you little tree,
Your bark is so colourful.
Be proud of who you are,
Don’t worry that you won’t grow.
Someday, if you wait, you will see,
But for now, you are the most colourful little tree.
