TREES

The yew and the oak were talking today 
How many years have they stood this way 
They have seen it all they went on to say 
No kids climb us anymore when they play 

The ash and the willow were crying today 
No leaves on their branches on display 
On the ground is where they started to lay
Felt to them they were starting to decay 

The cedar and palm were happy today 
Not taken down so that made them okay 
Maybe it's delaying the inevitable anyway 
Happens all the time here and faraway
