JUST A LITTLE WEED

l am just little weed,
AND you're a great big tree.
| sit and look at you all day.
But you don't look at me.
I'm just a slight three inches tall.
and you are ten foot three.
But after all, I'm just a weed
AND you're a great big tree.
You sit and stare at clouds all day
And make friends with the birds
But l just sit and stare at dirt.
I've never seen a bird.
You do not know it, but your leaves
Protect me from the rain.
Some day I'd like to be the sun
And dry your leaves again.
Some day I'm going to be a tree
And keep away the rain.
But 1t would not last long enough
I'd be a weed again.
