I SHALL BE A TREE
My mother said when I grow up
I can be what I want to be. All day long I've thought about it. I think I'd like to be a tree.Then I could catch the racing breeze,
And hold a nest of baby birds. I would talk to the other trees If I could understand their words.Oh, I would be the biggest tree!
I would wear a cloud for a cap, And best of all, it seems to me, I wouldn't have to take a nap.
