The Tree

by Ella Kaplan
Grade 4

In the tree, the great pine tree

I bury my fish friends

deep in the trunk of my tree

Deep in the trunk of the tree

I bury memories of my friends

deep in the tree the great pine tree

I bury the laughter of my family

Deep in the tree the great pine tree

I bury my stuffed friends

Deep in the tree the great pine tree

I bury my imaginary pals of the past.

In the tree my treasures are safe

in the rain they don't get washed away

and when the wind blows they don't blow away too

and when it is hot they don't melt and when there is a blizzard

they stay warm

my tree is my memory.
