Trees

What greater marvel Than trees Leaves whispering in the breeze Shade against the sun Home for nesting birds Squirrels and climbing wildlife. Trees are the planet's lungs Giving oxygen keeping us alive Jungles, forests and woodlands Precious jewels in a country's crown Inheritance for the future So life continues for all species. Humanity cuts down trees Burning making grazing land Building towns and cities Forest living animals destroyed Trees gone with less oxygen Planet's lungs getting smaller. Trees are the planet's life-line Without them there is no survival Life for humanity will be no more Thousands of trees cut down daily Money put before our future No more oxygen keeping us breathing.
