For Serif: The Flying Tree

Tanta loves to tell me this
In a whisper, with a kiss

When you grow up, you will be
A great big girl flying tree

Far to great to be told 'no!'
Where ever you want, you can go

You'll always be where the sun is high
When the moon rises it's time to fly

Across the continents and the sea
No ocean is too deep for thee

As a flying tree you'll freely pass
Never be told 'you're just a lass'

You'll never run from things that scare
You will dance and sing in front of their lair

No fire will burn a flying tree
You'll just take a dip in a cool green sea

Can you see how free you'll be?
Flying 'round this big tree thee!

Free, safe and happy, seeing it all
Tanta tells me this when she comes to call

Yes, this is what she says to me
You'll be a great big girl flying tree
===============================
Anything you desire

Your Tanta
