The Tree

Out behind the house stood a tree

It was planted there by Ellery

 

He planted it the year his granddaughter was born

On the lawn it would someday adorn

 

But his little tree never grew

With it now what should he do

 

Remove it I guess

But that would be such a mess

 

Then along came the child

Who stared at the tree and smiled

 

Grampy I can make the tree grow

Watch me now here I go

 

She did make that little tree grow

How she did it I’d like to know

 

With lots of love and tender care

To argue with her I did not dare

 

For 28 years the tree has grown

From the love that the child has shown

 

Dedicated to the memory of Ellery C. Barnes

September 16, 1912-May 1, 2001
