Trees are EVERYWHERE,

In abundance they thrive.

They purify the air we breathe,

To help us survive.

They provide shelter and food for the wildlife

And all of humanity.

The very foundation of our Earth,

Is the roots of the tree.

And better yet is the breathtaking scenes they make

Such as the woods that surround a pristine lake.

The evergreen Fir, majestic and tall,

That enhances a waterfall.

Be it LUMBER, TIMBER, KINDLING,

It’s wood.

Everything that involves a tree is good!

I am finally aware, it dawned on me,

That we ALL look up to the tree.

I don’t know about you, but I know about me,

I want to go out, and hug a tree.

My lawn is scarred with mounds of dirt

I’ve been told they were made by moles

I also have squiggly ridges

Could they have been made by voles?

I swear I’m harboring a prairie dog

My patience is sorely tested

Regardless of which critter it may be

I’ve had it with being molested

The snomobilers are happy

The Arctic temps they
do not fear.

The snow to them is like
the foam

That tops an ice cold beer.

anyone, I’ve lost my cool.
