Trees

I've loved this classic American poem by Joyce Kilmer since my childhood. He wrote it in 1913. During Covid I had more time to let my muse wander and I came across the poem and thought it could become a song. I wrote the melody to his words and repeated the first verse like it was a chorus. I recorded it live at my grand piano using the app "Garage Band."
