Outside AB, Stands a tree, Where we as students often pass, Every day, it's a sight to see, A symbol of growth and memory.
Through the years, I've walked this path, Its branches reaching out, a familiar sight, Guiding my steps to class in the morning light.
At Aquinas College, it takes its place, A tree of knowledge, a warm embrace.
As I walk past, I find my place. Through the years, this tree has grown, And in my heart, its roots are sown. A witness to my journey, as time flies fast, Walking past this tree, while commuting to class.
