 Oh, Little Twig by Robbie Fox I see a twig It glitters on the walk It shivers in the wind It glistens in the sun I see an elm It stalks so high Its shadows are long Its memories are grand Oh, little twig Will you one day grow And what of your shadows Will they ever cover the sidewalk cracks you once were swept into by a gentle breeze? And is the elm more tree than thee simply for its width? In a forest full of twigs What makes thou so special And perhaps all twigs glisten differently In a forest, by a river, near a path Oh little twig Oh big elm Tree family, both of ye Years later I'm alone and old Not bitter though My twig in my old wool sweater My fingers, thumb and index, twiddling it gently in my pocket The elm falls and crushes my skull But the twig is still strong in my grip Oh, little twig Oh, little twig Thy strength springs eternal
