I'm Glad from Brown Bag by GREG FARLEY

There is a Hemlock tree
in a glen
350 years old
getting older at that
nobody ever cut it down
I hope they never will
I'm glad
that old tree is standing still

There is a old house
In Durham that I know
hand cut beams and a hand dug
well
Nobody from the city
has bought it and fixed it up
I'm glad
those old boards are hanging on

There is a Grey Wolf
out in cold Idaho
she hunts the cattle
the ranchers hate her so
nobodies ever trapped her
and I'm sure they never will
I'm glad
there is a place for her out there
still

There is a neighborhood in Troy
that I know
They some hard working people there
They come from all over the world
no fancy restaurant
no boutique hotel
I'm glad
there is some real folks living
there still
