Trees

we have a special place to go
a place thats just for you and me
and at this special place we ll grow
a tree each for you and me
 
 
 

there is a place where two trees grow
far away from any wood
someone too close these trees did sow
and so they grow the best they could

these trees looked beautifully now
branches lap and twisted and hug
branches to branch and boughs to bough
here they growing close and snug

which tree is which
no one could tell
here they touch
lost in spell

in spring it bloomed
summer it grows
fall it is doomed
living through winter snows

the tree on the right
hits a rock down below
soon the sight
seen growing slow

water was few
flowers are all gone
the other was new
bark will be on

the weight of the dead
making a live branch break
now the last word said
six feet holes make

right is dead
left dying
hell was said
heaven smiling
 
 
 

we have a special place to go
a place thats just for you and me
and at this special place we ll grow
a tree each from you and me
