Once , there were two trees ..
One with thick green leaves
The other with roots that could not be seen .
The first said " I'm the most beautiful"
The other replied : " you only wish you could be "
- "How could you say that ? " the first called ..
My leaves are so pretty and my trunk is tall ..
I make a kind shadow for all who falls
Birds come to me to find a home ..
The other said :
" my roots are so deep and my trunk is strong ..
They keep me standing to whoever does me wrong ..
They don't show their beauty until you dig all night long .. "
They are hard to get but they are here to stay ..
If your leaves fall . Your birds will fly away ..
Maybe I can't make a shadow ...
But I can have a tree house and I can have a swing set and I can have trust that I never betray ..
Cause I never shake but you with slightest wind sway ..
I may not be beautiful today
And sure you are beautiful in every way ..
But darling , leaves ..
Leave ..
You will sway with wind but they will dance away ..
You're young and a fool ..
Because if you went against my roots ..
You will always loose ..
