"What do you like about that tree that makes you stay up there all day?" Alexander asked. " They are my friends" she replied and gracefully climbed back into her spot in the tree, and went back to singing,
"I saw a tree by a river side
One day as I walked along
Straight as an arrow and straight to the sky
Growing tall and strong
How do grow so tall and strong?
I said to the riverside tree
This is the song my tree friend sang to me
I've got roots growing down to the water
I've got leaves growing up to the sunshine
And the fruit that I bear is a sign of life in me
I am shade from the hot summer sun-down
I am nest for the birds of the heaven
I am becoming what the lord of trees has meant me to be
A strong young tree
I saw a tree in the city streets
Where buildings block the sun
Green and lovely I could see
It gave joy to everyone
How do you grow in the city streets?
I said to the downtown tree
This is the song my tree friend sang to me
I've got roots growing down to the water
I've got leaves growing up to the sunshine
And the fruit that I bear is a sign of life in me
I am shade from the hot summer sun-down
I am nest for the birds of the heaven
I'm becoming what The Lord of trees has meant me to be
A strong young tree."
