In The Heart Of A Tree

• Brynnie Rafe, Grade 3
• Poetry
• 2009

In the heart of a tree is the secret of seeds,

While dew falls from the leaves like beads,

And while withered leaves fall to the forest floor

Their daughters are here just new-born.

Graceful as a goddess is a tree,

And so their heart is plain to see,

But the secret of seeds - who’s to know?

Just see the young saplings down below.
