Re: A Tree
Very true Nom.
My favourite tree is a silver birch, slender, tall and beautiful. ( not like me)
My Dad loved this poem and used to read it to me.
TREES by Joyce Kilmer
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the Earth's sweet flowing breast
A tree that looks at God all day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair
Upon whose bosom snow has lain
Who intimately lives with rain
Poems are made by fools like me
But only God can make a tree.
