When I think of licking maple from a tree
I think of me and you as friends.
When eating sap from a tree
I think of the kindness of the things you do for me.
And why do I think of that?
Because you are the one who’s kind and makes me smile.
You are like the air that a tree brings us
to the tip of my tongue and kindness you bring.
So thank you tree for bringing me into this world
and being my friend.
