How tall are you I asked a tree ?

Why I’m as tall as I should be

How many leaves have you on show ?

To tell the truth I just don’t know

Well how long have you been here ?

To you my answer would not be clear

How many suns have come your way ?

What is a sun I cannot say

Do you know anything at all ?

I know to live and that is all
And not to talk to strangers.
