Old Tree

I`m circled with Love
I`m circled with angels
from the Lord above

hands held together
clasped firmly and tight
these are precious angels in my sight

I`m just and old tree
and
don`t know
what they see
but
I`m so very happy
they are all around me

I can hear
their heart beats
and
want them to know
they are the reason
I continue to grow

I will cover them
with shade of Love
in the heat of the day
and
provide a branch
for the eagle
and the jay

I am big cedar
red
and smell sweet

these are Gods children
circled around me
nurturing the roots
at my feet

I tell the other trees in the Forrest
to be proud
and stand tall
these angles
will not let us fall

I`m just an old tree
and
don`t know
what they see
but
they are everything to me.
