village verse

Apples

We picked apples, Uncle and me,
Balanced there in his apple tree.

I thought we were up so high
I could catch the pigeons flying by.

I was three, maybe four
Certainly not any more.

Later on when, I grew tall
I knew we weren't so high at all.

But we picked apples, Uncle and me,
Balanced there in his apple tree.

I thought we were up so high
I could touch and stroke the sky.
