If Trees Could Only Talk

The tree stretches its limbs toward the sky;
Majestic in all his glory;
If it could tell of times gone by;
Oh goodness what a story!

It would tell of everything it could see;
From its perch up in the air;
It would tell stories of you and me;
Of frolicking children and worldly care.

It would tell of seeing things change;
It would tell of people growing old;
It would tell of things odd and strange;
Oh the stories that would be told.

It would remember generations past;
The ones we never knew;
We would know history at last;
From a historian tried and true.

Oh the stories a tree would tell;
If it could tell them at all;
But it will keep it secrets in its shell;
As it continues growing tall
