My friend did call me–just today
To say a thing or two
About his wife and kids–grandkids
Filled me out of the blue
Through panes of glass a tree does see
My life within this room
Growing, seeding, flowering–feeding
Nourish me from my gloom
A tree, a friend, my life–depends
On sup they may provide
\"lil\" difference by God– the pair
From Him I cannot hide.
