Tree Poem
A special kind of happiness
A special kind of joy
A special kind of radiance
Will cause me to employ . . .
A tree hug is a Be Hug
Is a really part of me hug
When I look into the heart of a tree
I look into the heart of me
A green thing all growing
Some knowing
Some not knowing
There are some trees
That share their happiness with me
Smooth leaves coated green on green
With bumpy bark in-between
There is a special kind of joy
Can only be shared with a tree
It's the very special kind
That comes from inside of me
