Trees, World's Lungs

What greater phenomenon, joy for eye and soul Than trees with leaves swaying gently in the wind World's lungs, creating oxygen, supporting life Jungles, forests and woodlands, keeping us alive. Mankind's Crown jewels, every tree precious Safeguarding, protection against global warming. Cutting down trees and burning making farmland Forest dwelling animals and plants made extinct. Money and greed before sustaining world's lungs Trees felled with forests cleared with loss of oxygen. How my heart rejoices seeing beauty of trees Shafts of sunlight from foliage making pools of light With heart uplifted I walk ancient woodlands See nesting birds, squirrels, badgers, and elusive deer.
