"Time spent amongst trees is never wasted time." - Katrina Mayer |
'Say Trees', the photographer urged But we were already grinning We'd spent the day digging, planting And we'd just placed the 100th sapling. Being in the soil, amidst the greenery Breathing the air, fresh and pure Our cares and worries had melted away "Hug a tree" should be a prescribed cure. Oxygen to soothe the lungs, Green to soothe the eyes The touch of wood to calm the skin With feel-good hormones on the rise. We'd experienced them all that day And the joy of working as a team The energy, the vibes, the glow Felt like a glorious dream Leaves that rustle in the breeze And shade us from the sun Fruits that nourish and delight Trees are loving, trees are fun. They hold the soil, they shield the earth From storms and climate change If you just give trees a chance You'll see what they can re-arrange! Plant a tree, climb a tree Lean against the trunk so strong Hug a tree, befriend a tree Hum the tree's eternal song. Trees are loving, trees are kind Trees are our friends and family too Preserve them please don't cut them down You love them, and they love you! |
