The Gum Tree

Oh remarkable rain,
you fall graciously like the soft snow.
Making my leaves move in the wind and blow.
Radiant, extraordinary, helping me grow,
oh rain, you make me want to bestow.

Oh curious koala,
you sit upon my branches eating leaves all day,
not twitching or needing anything to do or say.
Nonchalant, chilled, always wanting to stay,
oh koala, please never go away.

Oh people,
I sit up high near the clouds in the sky,
listening to birds like chimes and seeing them fly.
I'm tall, towering, important to see,
oh people, please do not chop me.
