Plaque



I SAW

I saw the ocean, rise and fall
I saw the buildings really tall
I saw the children running and playing
I saw the fights that ended in slaying
I saw the pelicans fly higher and higher
I saw the man set my bark on fire
I saw many hurricanes, even an eye
I saw my branches go bye, bye
I saw the woman that watered me in prayer
I am so grateful that someone should care
