The Wattle Tree

The wattle tree so close to my heart,

A little yellow arch.

Flowers like yellow baubles on a Christmas tree,

it must be Santa’s favourite flower.

Other trees may fall down but the wattle tree proudly stands tall.

Tiny buds transforming into flowers like a butterfly coming out of its cocoon.

A mass of yellow balls, a spectacular display dazzling in my eyes.

My special wattle tree.
