A Golden Pear Tree

A golden pear tree,
Swaying light in the wind,
A bird on a branch,
Sings to her kin.

A chirp of melodies,
A wondrous trill,
About the golden pear tree,
Up, on the hill.

“The sun hit the sky
Making the tree hot and tired,
But he pushed on, not giving up,
And he was admired.

The sun gave up,
And let him be,
A piece of nature
An extraordinary tree.”

And so the story ended
And mother bird sang as she flew,
“Never give up, my dears,
This story is true!”
