The Violet Tree
The Violet Tree
By Craig Tilghman
There is one house on my block that has a violet tree.
If the violets are about to die, my neighbor comes out and waters them.
Sometimes when I walk past, I stop and stare at it.
And I say, “I wish I had a tree like that.”
So I can take good care of it.
And so when people walk past, I can hear them say, “Wow that is a beautiful tree.”
And I can water the violets everyday of the week.
Maybe when I move I can try to grow a violet tree.
And be the only one with a violet tree.
