I wish I was a tree <br />I want to soak up the sun <br />And stretch, stretch, stretch, stretch... <br />And not worry if my stomach shows <br />Or about falling over <br />No <br />I want to dig my roots into the ground <br />And chill, man.... <br />I want to help you breathe <br />And if lightning ever struck, <br />I'd take the hit so you didn't have to <br />I want to be a tree leaning slightly in <br />To a tree like you leaning into me <br />I want to grow old just our branches <br />Mingled and twisted <br />I want an old man to cut us down <br />And turn us in 2x4s so a nail <br />Could keep us together <br />As we hold on dearly saying <br />'One day, I'll be yours even longer' <br />I mean it<br /><br />Joshua Tracy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/trees-man/
