Tree of Life

by pmboudreaux

i was born in a tree

in a nest on a limb

my parents made for me

my siblings and me

sometimes it was rough

sometimes tough when they left me

one by one to venture forth

from the limb from the tree

the first sound i made was

'weeee, weeee'

whenever in trouble i sing

'tweet tweet tweet tweet, tweet tweet tweet tweet'

and others come to help me

i was born in a tree

'weeee, weeee'

I wrote this poem for my new great-grandson, James.
