Tree-time

I wish that I could be a tree,

To live in peace quite silently.

Standing high, year after year.

Free from anything to fear.

True, I'd be a log one day.

But till then friends would on me play.

Squirrels, birds, all creatures small.

Throughout my branches and trunk tall.

Growing upwards to the light.

Keeping warm even at night.

But just a dream that cannot fly,

For I'm just plain old Fluttershy.
