THE BIRD, THE APPLE, THE TREE AND ME

The bird sat in the tree

I watched

I watched the bird, I watched the tree

The bird sat in the tree
A blossom formed

I watched the bird, the tree
I watched the apple blossom

I heard the bird sing

The bird sat in the tree, and the blossom grew

I watched the bird, and the blossom
I watched the tree, and the breeze
and heard the bird sing

The bird sat in the tree
and the apple was growing

I watched the apple growing, and the tree
I watched and listened to the bird
I knew life was wonderful

The bird sat in the tree

The apple had grown, I watched

I saw the tree, the bird, and the apple

The bird sang, the tree smiled, and the apple
was a new gift from nature
and I watched and I smiled

The bird sat in the tree with the grown apple

I watched nature before me

I saw the apple fall

The bird sang, and the tree smiled

The bird sang in the tree
and the apple lay on the ground
and I watched
and I picked up the apple
and the bird and the tree watched me

If the apple was with worm
Then the bird would eat
and I would watch

If the apple was without worm
then I would eat
and the bird and the tree would watch
