A tree

Is not like you and

Me - it waits around quite

Patiently- catching kites and

Dropping leaves- reaching out to touch

The breeze... A tree will stand and stare

Clothed in summer, winter: bare- it has no shame

Or modesty... Perhaps it's generosity is the greatest in

The world- it gives a home to every bird, every squirrel,

Feeds them too- to every dog it is a loo... After dark

What does it do? Catch a falling star or two? Shimmy

In the old moonlight? Or maybe have a conker fight?

A tree can give a awful lot: the wood to make a:

Baby's cot, pencils, pens tables chairs- lolly

Sticks as well as stairs... With out a tree we

Couldn't live - a tree it seems just

Loves to give -

But us:

We

Chop

We

Take

We

Burn

That's

What we

Do in return
