Joy Of Trees

What greater phenomenon, joy to eye and soul But trees, leaves swaying gently in the wind World's lungs, creating oxygen, supporting life. Jungles, forests, woodlands, keeping us alive Mankind's crown of jewels, each tree precious Inheritance protecting against global warming. Cutting down trees, burning for grazing land Forest dwelling animals and plants made extinct. Money and greed before sustaining lungs of world Thousands of trees felled daily creating less oxygen Souls rejoices with the lush beauty of trees Sunlight shafts through foliage making pools of light Hearts uplifted walking woodlands, seeing flowers Nesting birds, squirrels, badgers, and elusive deer
