A pine tree is a cone. 

Clinging and swinging and hanging up high, 

Sealed like a secret and ready to fly.

The wind starts to blow,

Then look out below!

A pine tree begins with a cone.

A pine tree is a sapling. 

Stretching and reaching for sunlight and rain,

Watching the seasons pass once, twice, again.

Roots digging down,

Branches forming a crown,

A pine tree turns into a sapling.
