my momma's tree
my momma's tree
its talking to the flowers
oh a little black shade
a little sunshine
its a bonshai tree
came from this country of Japan
oh an outside tree
the leaves dance in the winter breeze
just blooming away upon the morning skies
this is my momma's tree
she brought it for herself
only december ago
she gave it some water
to feed the baby roots
and when the spring comes,
it will stay outside
oh a little sunshine won't hurt
a brown trunk keeps growing and growing
one day it will stand tall
taller than my house
yet
the little black shade won't hurt
cos its need to block the sun from burning
my momma's tree
its so lovely
sitting there next to the valentine red flowers
and i'm looking at them on the freezer
by the blue curtain sliding door
oh i wonder if i throw my dreams away
into the dirt
and it would become a dreaming tree....
or if i decorated it with
thousand papers of my love poems
then it would become
The Romantic Poetry Tree
but this is my momma's tree
such a short cute tree
its shadow lying down in the
light bulb
awaiting patiently
for my mom to take it outside
so it can open for the sunshine
