A POEM AND A QUOTE ABOUT TREES

Open House

~Aileen Fisher~

If I were a tree

I'd want to see

A bird with a song

On a branch of me.

I'd want a quick

Little squirrel to run

Up and down

And around for fun.

I'd want the cub

of a bear to call,

And a porcupine, big

And a tree toad, small.

I'd want a katydid

Out of sight

On one of my leaves 

To sing at night.

And down by my roots

I'd want a mouse

With six little mouselings

In her house.

"Everywhere I go I keep falling in love with the trees, and wanting to stay a little bit longer."
