I wish I was a tree. <br />Cause if I was a tree, <br />My life would be long. <br />It would be pain free. <br />I would receive sunlight from above, <br />And nourishment from the roots below. <br />No bills, no worries. <br />No painful emotions to burden me. <br />I would stand quietly in the forest. <br />The other trees would keep me company <br />And be the only friends I will ever need. <br />I wish I was a tree.<br /><br />Jeff Fleischer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-i-was-a-tree/
