How deep are my roots
how far down do I go
I only feel them not see
from the surface below
And the creatures that live
above, in my leaves
Why do they stay there
building futures on me
I stand tall and strong
and blow in the breeze
I stay put for years
not come and go as I please
In winters I stand bare
barren and dark
In summer I flourish
like all trees in the park
Children they climb me
and swing from up high
The old sit in my shade
watch the days going by
What’s my meaning to you
do I connect to your soul
Do my species protect you
Keep your world whole
