Occupy the Blogospere   – Save the Trees

             Tree

Trees, trees
Home of the bees,

Home of the seeds,

the buds,

and the leaves…

Home of a bird,

a chipmunk,

a bat…

Trees make their own food,

but never get fat!!!

They live quite a while,

like a very long time,

get older than Grandpa,

and Grandma combined!

For tens,

and hundreds,

and thousands of years.

They give shade to our picnics,

and food to our deer’s…

and all trees make flowers,

and all trees make fruits,

and all trees have trunks,

and all trees have roots…

From bananas

To chestnuts,

To apples,

To plums,

Trees give us good food,
They’re really our chums!

We use sap to make syrup,

and rubber, and fuel,

we use wood to make chairs,

to sit down at school…

But without all your help,

And without your concern,
We won’t have enough trees,
And for trees we will yearn,

Because trees give us things,

That we need to survive,

Like oxygen to breathe,

To live and to thrive…


And trees don’t take much,

for all that they give,

They only need sunlight,

And water to live…

Well maybe some soil,

To hold themselves up,

And maybe some love,

So they don’t get cut up…


Cut down or cut up,
however you view it,
we all need green trees,
so save one,
just do it!!!

    Isadora! Did you write this? I can see Primary schools devouring this! It’s adorable while being seriously, creatively and wholesomely crucial.

    • Oh, Amy, I wish I had written it. No, I had found this a few years ago and put it in one of my many, many books of things I enjoy. There was no author. It’s why I didn’t put an author on it. I love children books and fairy tales. I write a lot of kids stories. I don’t have many on my blogs because they are for kids. I like the fantasy and innocence of kiddie lit. I have a child-like imagination. I’m pleased you enjoyed it. I hope the author comes forward so I can give them the credit they deserve.
      I am happy to participate.
      namaste ….
