Våren

I will plant this tree for others to see
to sit in its shade while they caress
the sweet blades of grass that cover its roots.

They'll have no need to know who put it here
as they congratulate the bird that sings
by its nest it has hung from a limb.

I won't live to see this coming winter,
but I've already seen it standing here
for hundreds of years. I only need to plant it.
