GREEN, GREEN ORCHARD--Paulo C. Dorongon

Come with me
          to the green, green orchard
For which
          precious trees await
Their leaves are fluttering
          in the breeze
Grassess dance in a swing
          like no ends
Where scent of the flowers
          are wafted by the breeze
Come with me
          come with me
To the green orchards
          of tranquility
Where trees
          are only get greener with age
Where birds chirp
          at their best
Carried by the cold
          and friendly wind.
