The Song of the Forest

Dear Friend,

don‘t tread lightly on my leaves,

you won‘t disturb the peace.

don‘t sit timidly in my shade,

my twigs welcome to be of aid.

come home in me as in your heart,

for you are cherished among my barks.

drink of the sun, return its smile,

rest with me, stay a while.
