A tree stands tall and strong
With branches reaching for the sky
Its leaves rustle in the wind
As it watches the world go by
Roots dig deep into the earth
Providing nourishment and life
A symbol of growth and rebirth
A tree is more than just a knife
It offers shade on a sunny day
And shelter in a stormy night
Birds build their nest in its branches
Making it their home and delight
A tree is a symbol of beauty
And a force of nature's might
It stands as a reminder
Of the cycle of day and night
So let us treasure and protect
These giants of the forest floor
For they are a precious gift
And a symbol of life evermore
The tree is an ancient being
With a story to tell
Of the passing of seasons
And the ring of time, a well
It's bark may be rough
But it's beauty is in the detail
The wrinkles and grooves
Make it unique, never stale
Through scorching sun and cold rain
The tree stands the test of time
A silent witness
Of the world's ebb and climb
It brings life to the forest
And the air that we breathe
It's leaves soak up the carbon
And offers us reprieve
We climb on its branches
And swing from its rope
We build with its wood
And enjoy its peaceful scope
The tree is a wonder
Of nature's own making
A friend and companion
For all of our waking
So let us embrace the tree
And all it does for us
And in return, protect it
For it is one of nature's trust.
So here's to the tree,
A true marvel of the earth
With its branches reaching high
And its roots deep in the dirt
A symbol of strength and grace
And the beauty that surrounds
A true friend in every place
And a treasure to be found.
So let us pay our respect
To this mighty work of art
For the tree is not just a object
But a part of our heart.
