Seeds For a Childs Mind

Mom pulled the car into the drive, knocked and instructed me

I won't be long, you stay in this yard, and I better not catch you in that tree.

She disappeared behind the door, but a thought stuck in my mind

What is different about this tree, was it a very special kind.

I looked trunk to stem, High and low, nothing special could I see

I peered through its branches and wondered aloud, What can it be

This must be something that cant be seen standing on the ground

Maybe if I stood on it's lowest limb the answer can be found

I inched my way to it;s lowest limb, a chance I had to take

I know that theres some special discovery to make

I reached the limb but was dismayed, nothing special here

I'm sure it must be higher up, I must be getting near

One more limb, just one more. I'm sure if I just climb

I will solve this mystery, but I didn't have much time

I climbed & climbed, and wondered what is it I seek

I must be getting close now, because I see the peak

I realize I must hurry, take my treasure and decend

Once I have my special prize maybe I'll direct the wind

The silence broken, I hear a voice, it's calling me by name

Tis just a trick a fairies trick to prevent my precious claim

The voice again this time much louder coming from below

Dare I look down when I'm so close from things that I don't know

I turned at looked to see my mother looking so dissatisfied

Yelling ,what was the last thing that I told you before I went inside
