Trees are so pleasing
With their lush leaf and moss laid
Limbs to shade
The burning sun from up high
To shield and protect our curious eyes
And cool down the payment or gravel
For our bare feet to travel
As we anxiously wander to the blue sea or lake shore
As the afternoon temperatures have heated our body core
That now longs to swing from a long tree limb
Into the cool waters deep end
Or maybe it will just lead us to a tranquil spot
To Relax under a shaded tree spot
And Reflect for a short moment in time
To Recharge and ease our racing mind
Or even take a wind back in time
And remind us how life has passed
Since our last pass
On this glorious tree lined path
And then at last
Our steps take us back
And we wave goodbye
And sigh…
Trees are so Pleasing
