Poem for MommaAnn

Tall, Tall Green Tree

“Look up and see”, she said.

“See the tall, tall green tree”, she said.

We three little pups looked up to see,

What a beautiful tree it was indeed.

“Take a picture”, she said.

“Take a picture in your sweet little minds”, she said.

We three little pups took a picture.

We took a picture in our minds.

“If you really try to”, she said.

“If you really try to, you will always remember that picture”, she said.

We three little pups really remembered,

Remembered the tall, tall green tree in front of the bluest sky.

“I’m going to see Jesus”, she said.

“One day I am going to see Jesus, will you come with me?” she said.

Now we three little pups are going to see Jesus.

But we are now going to see her too.

“Look for me”, she said.

“Look for me in the flower, in the bluest sky and in sunshine”, she said.

We three little pups still see her in the prettiest flower,

The bluest sky, and the brightest sunshine.

Because we know she will always be with us in some way,

In a song,

In laughter,

In playfulness,

In a smile,

In generosity,

In the color yellow,

In a tall green tree,

In the bluest sky,

In the prettiest flower.
