Old birch, taken down –
It is still weeping, months since ~
Little pool of life.

Birch
That Birch is your friend –
of that much be sure;
In offense or defense,
its loyalty is pure.
Its life giving sap –
Its fire friendly skin –
Its dappled striped bark –
Its promise within.
A beaker, a spear;
A cure for your ills;
Food from its bark;
Paper for wills.
That Birch is your friend,
both young and old,
will be true, as long,
As ours rules our road.
