I sometimes wish I was a tree.

Not a huge tree - just a little sapling;

An innocent fixture in this huge world

Where darkness and beauty coincide.

And if I were this tree

I'd feed on nature's radiance;

Bask in rays of sunshine;

Inhale the pollution of the world

Exhale purity.

I'd grow to be protector.

My boughs a shade from corruption;

In the shelter of my leaves

Man would unite harmoniously.

The world would stand witness

To this miraculous feat:

Bringer of peace;

Bringer of forgiveness.

I sometimes wish I was this tree

Just this little sapling;

An innocent fixture in this huge world,

Where nature and beauty coincide.
