At that time Jesus said,
Plant trees easy
for kids to climb,
cherry and apple,
low to the ground,
or cloud-high
and many-branched
like the pine.
Let willows swing
laughing children
over the river.
Let catalpas provide,
with their great, green hearts,
places to hide and heal.
Suffer the children
to come to the trees.
