METHUSELAH TREE

Oh tree you have withstood climate changes that affect your longevity

You have fortunately saved yourself from poachers plenty

Oh you area tree when Jesus was holding lambs to His fold

You were already three thousand years  old

You can only laugh at the historians writing on times

A man is happy when he sights thousand full moons and new moons

That is the time he turns eighty, worldly wise

You have sighted more than 60 000 and more such sightings

Be happy and preach mankind how to live in hostile weather of cruel wars

May you be a symbol of eternity
