The Redwood Is My Home

The Redwood Is My Home
The wind was cold and fierce as it whipped through my hair
The sleet slapped my tender cheeks but I didn't care
I hurried through the forest to get out of this freezing rain
To go out in this awful weather I must have been insane
My house is almost in sight, just around the bend
In the third column and the fourth from the end
You are right. It's the biggest in the forest Redwood tree
Of coarse I live in it. And it suits me to a tee.
You see I am a fairy with beautiful fragile wings
I have lived in castles with Barons and with Kings
But I prefer to live in the forest in a big tall tree
Because I love the forest and a tree suits me to a tee
Mrs.Squirrel has her apartment on the upper floor
She is raising her family there which numbers four
Under her is Mr. Woodpecker. His door is round and smooth
His nightly pecking music is for all to relax and to soothe
My small apartment in the tree is next down one floor
My twin flame fairy lives with me whom I so adore
In the basement live the gnomes. They care for the tree
Yes I live in this forest and this tree suits me to a tee.
