Just leave me here
Plant me behind a wall
Like a sheep I will shelter
Like an acorn my shell
Will split and my soul grow
Branches catching stars
Rooted in the rocky ground

Or at least when you take me
Go canny
Leave some earth between my toes
Do not shake the constellations from my hair.

Thank you so much for this. I shall dedicate it to the survival of ABC Tales.
