A Tree Ought to be Enough

I never saw a poem as lovely as a tree

Says Joyce in a poem for me

But I cannot help but note

Others not in the same boat

Say they in some random rants

Trees are the product of chance

Products of accident and time

Springing from primordial slime

But I sit under the tree

And wonder at that I see

Its dancing leaves seem to sing

Praises to God it does bring.

Silly fools who do not believe

In darkest doubts they deceive

In all the wonders of creation

The tree is but a singular sensation

True, a wonderous one so strong

But, only one in the mighty throng

Created by our own Designer

The plan could not be finer

The tree alone ought to be enough

For you to believe the right stuff

But everywhere else do I look and see

The God who made the tree for me
