Mystertrees
Today I sat in contemplation
Of my life to date
How the hell did I get here
How did I find a mate?
It’s just a little possible
That I can be a mare
With ears pinned & tail a-swishing
It’s incredible that anyone cares
But somehow I did it, I found the man
Equipped to put up with me
Even when I ask at coffee time
What do you think about trees?
Others might just laugh it off
Or scoff at the insanity
But my man listens closely
When I contemplate the tree
How do trees decide just where to place their branches?
Another might say what did you say or are you off your rocker?
But not my husband, not this man, he listens carefully
He says it’s surely to do with balance & how the trunks a stalker
He’s the only one alive
With patience to match my needs
He’s the only brilliant one
Can satisfy my inqueries
It’s never any accident
The people that we meet
Think of that the next time

A stranger smiles at you on the street
Now that we are masked crusaders
We’ll have to figure out
How do we show we’re smiling
When others might have their doubts?
I know this seems off topic
But I promise you it’s not
Cause if we just can show our love
This world be freeth from rot
Tomorrow I am challenging you
Find any way you can
To show your love from the inside out
Please show your fellow man
There never was a time like now
To prove what we can do
With love & questions & certainty
We’ll show we love you too
It doesn’t have to only be
A love of family
Not just husband/wife/child
But this whole calamity
We’ve gotta find the way
To show the world we care
And then I promise you you’ll see
Brighter & cleaner air
Even as we go back to work
And travel on planes & trains
We’ll keep this bold world turning
Just because we kept our aim
All we plan to do at all
From this day forth forever
Is show each other how much were loved
We’re all in this together ❤️
