A gesture from youth to a knarly old tree;
By an orchard of saplings -- who one day will be
Victims of homage that none can repay.
By a moment of kindness too swiftly away.

The minds still a teen in our seventies!
But the body knows better apparently!
The two of them argue and disagree,
Til one of them wins out eventually!

Age is in store and so hard to ignore;
When strangers rush in to fling open our doors,
Like matadors greeting a dinosaur.

A gesture from youth to a knarly old tree;
By an orchard of saplings -- who one day will be
Victims of homage that none can repay.
By a moment of kindness too swiftly away.
