We're growing apple trees from seeds
three inches tall right now
by the time we have to leave
we hope for apple boughs
apples like your skin are bright
and oft reflect the sun
a tree is like humanity
full of shining ones.
Let's water it and watch it grow
protect it from the goats
share apples with everyone
friends and neighbor folks.
I see it's grown another inch
in its paper cup
look the plums will have to do
while apple's coming up.
In this case I ate them dear
and hope often for more
now our favorite food place is
our backyard grocery store.
