Today is Arbor Day. The day we honor the Earth by planting a tree. A tree that which will grow and shade your home. A fruit tree will provide you nourishment. A shade tree will lower the heat in the summer by 20 degrees. A tree that provides homes to birds and squirrels.
Trees --- Joyce Kilmer
I Think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
I know this artist, Cat Stevens is very controversial. But this song was written before his conversion to Islam and is a very beautiful one. Enjoy it.
