An Ode To Trees

Everyday we see them standing tall and noble everywhere. Most of the time we pass giving them not a second thought. All we see is greenery there, we never think of the variety and the effect they have on our lives. Nor do we think of all the things that live within them there. Each has its own family that within the foliage survive, some are minute often difficult to see. While others bring joy to our eyes as they fly across the skies. Some trees bare fruit, a bounty of food for us all. There are so many species and we should be thankful that God gave us them all. We should feel sad when someone’s axe hits and another tree falls. 18 August 2008
