The Secret

Mossy Logs
And great big ferns
Live under a deepening shade

Great big trees
With bright green leaves
Stand tall because they’re not afraid

In a secret hole
In a grand-father tree
Lives two squirrels and their children five

Not too far
And way up high
Lives the queen with her entire hive

All of them know
The ways of the land
And the secrets that it hides

And all of them know
Not to tell
And no one dare confides
