Hello tree outside my window
Branches brushing against the pane
I never tire of observing your presence over and over again
I am so grateful for your continual giving
Your contribution to all life
What you and your kin give to all things living
Without you we’re in strife
We have so much to gain from your existence
Rooted in the ground
You provide the essence of our existence
Your beauty truly astounds
You are the oxygen of our life
Giver of medicine and fruit
Home of birds and countless insects
Your benefits no one could refute
You have a hand in bringing rain
In cooling down the land
You protect the soil from erosion
Enable the earth to be a strong place to stand
We are a part of a fragile eco-system
We need each other to survive
Dear ‘standing people’ need our attention
To ensure we all flourish and thrive
