Re: A Tree

We have used trees to advance our species, they have provided shelter, transport, play, and materials for many of our needs. We used to live with them in harmony, but these days we destroy them in ever increasing numbers at our peril.

Slash and Burn and short term goals for profit will destroy us as effectively as wars.

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.

Re: A Tree

When i lived in Blackpool the church yard was across the road and whenever I walked thru I used to hug a Tree, I think they liked it. Whenever My Grandaughter came we used to go across the road a huged the tree.
