By Lenore Caytiles
In a nearby farm
A farmer planted a tree
He told the tree
To grow tall and sturdy.
But the tree had other plans
When he saw the tall trees around
The little tree is intelligent
He planned to be different.
He grew big at the very start
Then, midway he decided to be apart
He split into two
So he wouldn't be lonely
He would have his twin
To keep him company.
Both branches grew bigger and bigger
And people who pass by
Stopped and wonder
How these two big branches love each other
The ruffling of their leaves seem they are laughing, giggling and talking
At tlmes, they wave their small branches
They seem to be dancing.
Sometimes when a lovely pair passes by
The tree makes magic
He lures the couple to sit on the low bench where the branches split
The lovers start to whisper sweet nothings
The two big branches start giggling
Began rocking, moving like a swing.
