Outside of town
There is a place
With pine and oak
A quiet space
I visit there
At morning light
Or sneak outside
In dark of night
Every day
Come rain or shine
I am the trees’
And they are mine
Then one morning
Without a thought
I did not go
To my favorite spot
For someone sent
A card to me
With hearts and stars
And bumblebees
You are so sweet
Her card did read
Will you bee mine?
And I agreed!
I stayed at home
And worked quite hard
To make my own
Valentine’s card
It wasn’t until
My school bus came
I thought of trees
And felt some shame
But here I was
About to be
A Valentine
For Anna Lee!
I got to school
Bursting with pride
Her lovely card
Right by my side
But in her arms
I saw them there
A dozen cards
For her to share
Will you bee mine?
They read the same
And on each card
A different name
Oh my! Oh no!
My heart did freeze
And then I thought
Of all my trees
I took my card
Turned right around
And ran so fast
Outside of town
I know I’m late
My oak and pine
But please, oh please
Will you be mine?
