City Tree

There was a young city tree that was not familiar with the smell of wood
Yet through the concrete it grew and so proud and tall it stood
The figures his branches in the polluted air drew
Were as straight as the white lines in this road he was brought to
Yet with his dignity he couldn't hide, nor to me, nor to you
His deep desire to reach higher to a cleaner, brighter blue
