I would love to be a tree

Standing strong in a field.

To be strong and sturdy,

To see everything,

To not easily be blown away,

To display the joy of spring.

But a tree can't run,

A tree can't laugh,

A tree can't love,

A tree can't play.

To be a tree would be no fun.

I'd rather be a simple person.

I would not want to be a tree,

That simply would just not be me.
