They will not object,

The soaring hawk, the cawing crow,

The singing finch, the cooing dove.

They will not object

When you smile back as they beguile;

When you answer them with words of love.

They will not object,

The herring, scrod, nor even deadly sharks;

Nor catfish, crayfish, cod, or breaching whales.

They will not object

When you begin to learn about their water ways;

When you understand; begin to tell their tales.

They will not object,

The roses in the fulness of their flower,

When you sigh their delicate hour.

They will not object

When you watch the ivy twine nor hushing pine

And vibrate with their silent patient power.

They will not object,

The rabbit hiding in his warren warmth

The squirrel nesting in her lair of leaves.

They will not object,

No matter how broad or deep your love

The Tree of Life still hopes and still believes.

I will not object

If you spend your life in seeking a being

To give its love to you and you alone

I will not object

Though you may find that path is filled with stone

And at the end, despite a life of trying, alone.

I will not object,

But just for something else to try, imagine

Every branch: The Tree of Life: Our Family.

The Tree will not object

If you throw yourself into loving Life

Whole-heartedly, eternally, entirely. 

They will not object.
