WHO ARE THEY? THAT COMES TO SEE ME (DUKE GARDENS) BY JERRY MOSLEY PCA, Welch Ward These people who come to see me, why? I do not understand; Whenever I look a round at night. And say where are they? I look again. But there's no one in sight! Here I am minding my own business Just splashing around, having fun! They're talking real loud. Just seems to draw a crowd To help keep the fellows and me proud. Waiting for the day to come, to enjoy the beautiful sun. And when they come to cut my hair, once a week. Something I always dread that seems to make me weak They don't want me to grow tall. Because people can't enjoy me at all; So I'll go on being small. I am out what they call three times a year. Summer, Fall, and Spring When no one's around, listen at those birds they love to sing. If I can blossom and make them smile. It will help my life be worthwhile. Take me for example; I'm always eating. Whenever I see my friends coming I'll grab me a bite to eat and Flee, then go to my look out post. So I can see, who's coming in from coast to coast. Tell me who are these people who come to see me? Maybe those people will continue on being strangers to me. Help make me something that is worthwhile for a stranger. Who comes can use an understanding smile. But will they continue on seeing me year after year? But I'll never see. I'm glad they spend all their time in one day Because tomorrow is a long, long time away.
