A Tree (1972)
To plant a tree today
Is to have a part
In the far off tomorrows.
To tamp the good earth about
The roots of a seedling now,
Is to envision a tree of green shadows upon this place.
It is to dream of a time
When someone will say,
"Bless those hands who left us this miracle, this tree.
To plant a tree today
Is to see children not yet born
Playing among its branches.
It is a dream
Of the songs of birds nestled in its shade
And of lovers meeting there.
To plant a tree today
Is to put your hand into the hand of the Creator
And say, "With Thee I am one."
