Under the Canopy of the Mango Tree

rrodriguez

 

Under the canopy of the mango tree
I sit every day to meditate
Endless thoughts come to me
My God, you’re wonderful and great
 
I sit every day to meditate
This tree’s canopy is wondrous
My God, you’re wonderful and great
And always shall be thus
 
This tree’s canopy is wondrous
This tree reminds me of life
And always shall be thus
I think of you, my winsome wife
 
This tree reminds me of life
Of many past generations
I think of you, my winsome wife
Its rings show off its creation
 
Of many past generations
They have guarded secrets
Its rings show off its creation
Its wisdom now bequeaths us
 
They have guarded secrets
The gnarled old mango tree
Its wisdom now bequeaths us
Must cherish it ere it ceases to be
 
The gnarled old mango tree
Endless thoughts come to me
Must cherish it ere it ceases to be
Under the canopy of the mango tree.
