a lonely chipmunk once sat in a tall tree looking in the window
It longed for a place it could belong for it had nowhere to go
It had wandered the woods all its days looking for a home
it sailed the sees with the rats it’s life destined to roam
from tree to tree, park to park it never did belong
it made a friend along the way that taught it a helpful song
“love will find you when it’s time
until that day when all is fine
look to the wind it will guide you
when life is ready your love will find you”
the tree rat kept that song close in its heart
all its days when life tough it’s nature was to depart
one day a bird sat in a tree singing that very tune
it felt like destiny the chipmunk was over the moon
The bird and rodent became more than friends, indeed family
The rodent felt a love so strong it felt grafted into that tree
the two did fight though day and night despite their growing love
the chipmunk decided it hurt the bird too much, the bird had had enough
the chipmunk left the tree tears in its eyes
it never cried like it did that night its love the birdie died
But bird reached out and made it right with a warm embrace
it scolded the rodent for putting worry upon its tired face
the bird insisted the two would live as sister all their remaining days
the chipmunk was glad the two would in tandem run life’s rocky race
Hearts broken and mended the two found a way to live in harmony
as they grow older the chipmunk is very happy it climbed that sturdy tree
