Eucalyptus Tree
Have you seen the eucalyptus tree in the
Park?
Just after sunset, before dark,
Black lace against the sky,
Shimmering in the breeze passing by.
Many times I walked right by,
It never even caught my eye.
One day, I reached right up and picked a leaf.
It smelled so good I pick some more.
Was just like the medicine Mom got at the
Store.
Now as each day passes, on my walk by the
Eucalyptuses.
I smile, as I remember all my Mom's
Kisseses.
