There once was a tree
Mighty as can be,
Who gave shade and shelter and love.
But one day that tree
Mighty as can be,
Was cut down due to powers above.
All left was a stump
No prettier than a rump,
And the grass lay barren around.
But all around that stump
Which adorned that desolate rump
Grew flowers straight up from the ground
And all of those flowers
Sprung up by spring showers
Proclaimed, “What was barren shall now bear fruit!”
