A Tree
There are
few greater beauties
That one could hope to see
Than the silent formation
of the old majestic tree.
Its strength is in its roots;
Its arms reach toward the sky.
Its leaves rustle so gently
As the soft wind whispers by.
It offers shade to those who
rest
Beneath its spreading boughs;
Lovers carve initialed hearts,
Exchanging secret vows.
Many artist are inspired
By beauty they perceive
While contemplating nature
Beneath its lacy leaves.
Birds make homes on sturdy limbs,
Protected from the night;
Squirrels cavorting round its
trunk
Give watchers such delight.
Children's fantasies expand
As they climb up and play;
Swings attached to higher limbs
Bring joy each autumn day.
Its wood is used for shelter,
For paper, books and toys;
Another of God's blessings
Gives help as well as joy.
