The Toona Ciliata Tree

The Toona Ciliata Tree sways back and forth 
like an old rocking chair. 
My branches reach out to give love and hope. 
The Toona Ciliata Tree feels so calm when nearby.  
As autumn comes, I lose my leaves, 
but in early spring they sprout again, 
The colour is a beautiful soft green. 
The Toona Ciliata Tree has been here before I was born, 
and it will still be here when I die.
