IF YOU LOVE THE TREES, THEY WILL LOVE YOU BACK.
IF YOU LOVE THE BIRDS, YOU WILL WAKEN TO THEM.
IF YOU LOVE TO SING, YOU WILL LIVE YOUR LIFE SINGING.
IF YOU LOVE THE EARTH, YOU WILL TEND TO YOUR GARDEN,
WALK IN THE GRASS, GO BAREFOOT IN SUMMER,
IN SPRING AND IN FALL, THEN SOCK FEET IN WINTER.
IF YOU LOVE THE NIGHT, YOU'LL STAY OUT AFTER DARK,
LIGHTS IN YOUR WINDOWS SEEN FROM AFAR, A CHILL ON YOUR ARMS.
IF YOU LOVE TO CLIMB TREES, YOU WILL GROW UP THEIR FRIEND.
YOU WILL NEVER FORGET THEIR TRUNKS IN YOUR ARMS.
YOUR FEET FIND THEIR BALANCE, BY FEEL YOU CLIMB HIGHER,
A PLACE TO STRADDLE MAYBE A PLACE TO DANGLE,
TESTING THE STRENGTH OF EACH LIMB, A PLACE TO SIT,
A PLACE TO HIDE.
THIS BRANCH WANTS TO HOLD ME.
IF YOU LOVE A TREE, IT WILL LOVE YOU BACK.
