Quietly Watching You

You probably don't know that I am here

I stand quietly watching

Everything and everyone

Year after year

Through Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter

Quietly watching

Just lately there has been a flurry of activity

All my friends and neighbours are waking

I quietly watch them

As I do

Bursting into their fresh green suits

It starts off quite slowly

And then all of a sudden

There are lots of tiny little leaves all around

The smell of fresh growth

Its amazing

And it happens every year

So open your eyes wider

Look beyond the average day

And pretty soon you will see

What I see

Perhaps you will find me

But if you don't thats okay

I will still be here

Quietly watching you

And I am just one tree

So it may make you wonder

If there are others like me

Quietly watching too..
