Climbing Trees

Many of us

When we were little,

tended to climb a little,

But for me

It was quite constant,

When times were bland

And my mood was bad,

I’d think to myself 

It's time to climb

A spectacular tree.

Branch to branch

Little by little

I get to the top,

As my minds settles

I start to unwind

And really relax.

At the end of the day 

Times must be rough

But at least for now

I can always climb trees.
