It’s incredible, dear, but you must be free to see
What wonderful things I can ‘lee’ in a tree.
I can ‘lee’ a cup and a chandelier,
Which have tears or leaves as you go near.
I can ‘lee’ flowers or juices or candles,
Which make it exceptional among all other same-as.
A tree can bloom or wither or stay evergreen,
But that depends on whether it’s near a stream.
If it’s near a stream, it will win.
If it is not, it will rot.
And if it rots,
It’s subject to God’s wrath.
But if it wins,
It will always be part of God’s dream,
Which means that you and me can become branches of His everlasting t(h)ree.
