In Loving Memory of Dolma Plant a Tree Unknown There s a very special garden Where the trees of memory grow Nurtured by kindness And concern that good friends show The roots are cherished memories Of good times in the past The branches tender promises That souls endure and last It s a place of peace and beauty Where bright new hopes can start It s memory s lovely garden That soothes the hurting heart

When You Plant a Tree Unknown When you plant a tree you plant a thought A thought of leafy morns and noons You plant a thought of beauty growing Beneath the countless suns and moons And likewise you plant rainy moments In which the leaves of this great tree Will sing a son of falling raindrops And rivers that see the sea Yet more plant when you are giving A tree unto the mother earth You offer life that renders joy From cradled soil and seedling earth You plant deep solace for the heart You plant rare comfort for the eye You plant beauty that shouts aloud As it flings against the sky

Dear little tree that we plant today What will you be when we re old and gray The savings bank of the squirrel and mouse For robin and wren an apartment house The dressing room of the butterfly s ball The locust s and katydid s concert hall The schoolboy s ladder in happy May And the schoolgirl s tent on a holiday And my leaves shall whisper then merrily A tale of the children who planted me
