The Blessings of the Elder Tree

Beneath the elder tree's ancient bark,

A world of wonder, a world of spark,

Where children play and laugh and dare,

The tree's warm smile watches over them there.

Its branches stretch and twist and sway,

A haven for young hearts to play,

The leaves rustle softly in the breeze,

Whispering secrets to the children's ease.

The tree's broad trunk, a haven of rest,

A place to hide and dream and nest,

The children climb and laugh and play,

Their joy and laughter chase the night away.

The elder tree's smile is pure and kind,

A gentle guardian of the mind,

It watches over the children's play,

And keeps their hearts in a sunny day.

So come and sit beneath its shade,

And let the elder tree's wisdom be made,

For in its bark and leaves so grand,

Lies a world of love and wonder, at hand.
