I'd Be A Tree

There are those I know

who would like to be

quick as a dragonfly

wild and free


But there is them

and there is me

and if I could

I'd be a tree


With deep grown roots

strong and steady

and firm in the ground

I'd like to be


When the wind would blow

my branches would breeze

but very few storms

could uproot this tree


And lonely travelers

may sit under my leaves

and find some rest

some shelter with me


So there can be those

who can go ahead and be

wily as the wind

wild and free


So there is them

and here is me

planting in the ground

dreaming of trees
