THE GRAND OLD TREE As I enter the park I see this majestic tree All alone standing there so very strong and free It’s as though a magnet draws me there Knowing I have a weary soul to bare I think of the generations of people it has served Standing there with its many limbs being so curved Kids playing, shade offered, picnics beneath Dogs sniffing, grabbing a scent from the grass underneath What this tree must have seen in all these years Children climbing, lovers underneath sharing their tears Drug deals, dogs fighting, random *** Never knowing what it might see next This strong humble tree is over one hundred years old It holds a multitude of secrets if all be told It never makes a sound as it stands there all alone Unless the wind stirs up causing some wonderful tones I can go to this tree to meditate and escape my daily life While others have come to it to carve their initials with a pocket knife Whichever you choose this old tree will be there for you Just walk on over to it- You have nothing to lose
