If Trees Could Talk

If trees could talk 

Oh the questions I’d ask

Of all the stories from times long past 

Of futures you’ve seen come to pass 

Time won’t last forever at all

But the rings on a tree will grow real far 

Questions of lives that passed before you 

And the lessons they learned on how to be true 

Nature absorbs history as it happens 

Wishing that I had eyes to see through all the bracken
