The Eucalyptus Tree

Green luscious Eucalyptus leaves swaying in the wind.
Noise of machines in the distance taking away our home.
The Eucalyptus tree's heartbeat thumps loud and clear.
The tree feels the noise, danger is near.
The true and honest tree sits glumly in the ground,
with its roots circling all around.
This is my Tree - this is my Home.
How much longer will my dear tree stand?
Brown strong bark falling off the tree.
The noise of humans carelessly ripping our home apart.
The leaves dance gracefully in the wind.
The wind whistles through the trees.
The beautiful birds sing through the trees, this is their home as well as ours.
This is my Tree - this is my Home.
How much longer will my dear tree stand?
When I'm gone, will you miss me?
This is my Tree - this is my Home.
How much longer will my dear tree stand?
