 THE TRAVELING LIFELONG BUSH POET

AMONG GODS MOST WONDERFUL GIFTS


Photobucket


OH MIGHTY TREE WHERE ARE YOU NOW
IF WE COULD HAVE LEFT YOU ALONE SOMEHOW
IF THERE COULD HAVE BEEN ANOTHER WAY
THINK HOW GRAND YOU WOULD BE TODAY
GOD CREARED HIS STEEPLES AWAY BACK WHEN
NON WE BUILD WILL BE AS EVER GRAND AS THEN
THIS IS LIKE WHERE JESUS HIMSELF SAT TO PRAY
AND WORSHIPED HIS FATHER ABOVE IN EVERY WAY
IF I COULD STILL GO TO THESE CREATIONS OF GOD
AND SIT UNDER SUCH A MIGHTY TREE IN THE SOD
I WOULD DO SO NOW EVERY CHANCE THAT I GOT
BUT GONE NOW THESE MIGHTY TREES ALMOST THE LOT
OH MIGHTY TREE HOW GRAND YOU ONCE WERE TO SEE
BUT NOW ONLY WE CAN LOOK BACK IN OUR MEMORY
OF JUST HOW GRAND GIFTS OF GOD ONCE WERE SO FREE
ONCE SOULS THEY'D PRAY UNDER YOU IN ALL SINCERITY
BUT NOW WE GO TO OUR BUILDINGS IN ALL OUR FINERY
I OFTEN WISH THAT YOU COULD ON EARTH BE THE SAME
WE WILL NEVER SEE THE LIKES OF YOU ON EARTH AGAIN
Oh plant a tree  Oh plant a tree
Ill plant one for you you plant one for me
I might just plant a hundred and three
Why dont we all often just plant a tree .
