The Girl Who Touched the Ground

600 Year Old Tree

If I were a 600 year old oak tree.
Oh, the stories I could tell.
I'd tell of battles long ago raged.
Stories of environments​ on a cleaning spree.
Tales of children learning to spell.

I could tell you of cities and soldiers that fell.
Of poor animals captured and caged.
Maybe I might tell you something about me.

I could tell you of old men and women that once sprightly played.
You know England once gave the  colonists a ridiculous fee.
Would you like to hear of the first American well?
I  know of when the first road was paved.
I can tell you of the liberty Bell.
Yes, I'm quite aged.
So those are the stories I could tell 100% guarantee.
