	Thankyou DET and Keith, I had no idea of any of the other words of the poem and I'm not completely sure that my Dad did either. I always wanted to know what it was. You've cleared up a mystery for me. Alison

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earth's sweet flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in Summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree.

	My Dad used to often sing the first few lines of what I believe was a poem. I can only remember the first couple of lines and would like to know the whole poem. Can anyone help? it goes like this: I think that I will never see A poem lovely as a tree A tree....... I think that's it, any ideas? Thanks in anticipation, Alison
