2. There's a Mulberry Tree in My Backyard
Sibling 1:
There's a mulberry tree in my backyard,
but should there even be one over there?
He said his favorite berry was the mulberry
He said she planted the seed to grow into a great tree
as a way to say
that she still loves him, regardless
of the fact that she's married, he ignored my 'regardless'
I sit in my backyard
and I tell my father there is something I want to say
I tell my father about the man standing over there
My father looks at the mulberry tree
My father said he never liked the word mulberry
It's up to me whether I want to see that mulberry
tree every day, regardless
of my mother's feelings for the tree
I know it's just a tree in my backyard,
but what the tree could represent, always standing over there...
It's something I don't want to say
I have my mother tell me and say
what she thinks of the mulberry
tree standing over there
She tells me she doesn't care what I do with the tree, regardless
of the look in her eyes, the look that tells me the tree in the backyard
means so much more to her than just some random tree
I stare at the other tree
Nothing much about it there is to say
It's the oldest tree in my backyard
Has it befriended the mulberry?
I honestly don't know, but regardless,
something is going to change in my backyard over there
He is watching me, over there
But I look away and face the tree
I hesitate, but regardless
of whatever I might feel, I have to say
something about whether or not there should be a mulberry
tree in my backyard
Now regardless of whatever someone might say,
there is no mulberry
tree in my backyard
