Old Tree


Old tree


Often have I gazed in wonder
At something truly ever so grand-
The oldest trees , middle of a town
Growing there before any walked this land-
Biggest oldest ever trees still standing
Right in the center of a modern town-
People passing by all of the time
Walking up and walking down-
Often they are almost rightly worshiped
And treasured simply just ever so-
But often many just pass them by
And of there history do not know-
Sometimes few ever stop to even look
Feeling after all it's just a tree-
I think many never have a clue at all
Some have stood for several of a century-
The same tree and the very same place
Having always grown right there-
Endless stories could they tell
And some beyond our time and compare-
New cars now driving around and past
Once where there were no roads at all-
Way before us and all we adore
Before they grew so very large and tall-
Often people walking under them not thinking
Of how they came to be and grow so high-
Of what must have been when they was sown
And before they towered up into the shy-
Of the things that well could have been
Right within their view and their time-
Of all the history that's past them by
These gifts of God and entities divine-
