E v e r g r e e n   T r e e s

In between ashes and seeds stand the Evergreen trees

A pine a spruce a Douglas fur through winter’s cold color endures

And beneath the freeze needles prick those who tease

December evening evergreen trees

By the fire she reads of the birds and the bees

A hungry caterpillar grows in size as she feeds 

With every turn of the page we add a click to our age

Another ring for evergreen trees

In between ash and seeds stand the Evergreen trees

A pine a spruce a Douglas fur through winter’s cold color endures

And beneath the freeze needles prick those who tease

December evening evergreen trees

When Monday’s apple was through she ate not one pear but two

Wednesday’s plums she ate all three then onto Thursday’s strawberries

Friday’s oranges lined that little bug’s insides

She’s climbing up an evergreen tree

Through the sausage and cheese she gobbled up with ease

Then into time of hiding feeling full and uneased

But to her own surprise she awoke a violet butterfly

Not all of us can be evergreen

In between ash and seeds stand the Evergreen trees

A pine a spruce a Douglas fur through winter’s cold color endures

And beneath the freeze needles prick those who tease

December evening evergreen trees
