“TREES”

I have always thought that when I die I would like to come back as a dog…what an idyllic life,

But after seeing how some are mistreated, well…

Now I am thinking of coming back as a tree, especially the kind that changes color in the fall,

So pleasing to the eye of humans & still near to the heart of dogs, or closer to their hind legs…

To be a member of the family of trees living 100’s of years,

making shade for families, a place for a swing or growing fruit, all this and more are great reasons to come back as

trees,

And on the upside, I won’t have any fleas!
