I am a gift of the creator
A bearer of his legacy
I was here since the beginning
I, am here to be.
Planting of the first seed
Brought me to life, gave me birth
Generations of giving and nurturing
Generations of living on earth.
My siblings exist, in every nook n corner
On mountains, under rivers and sea,
I am a part of this beautiful nature
I am, but of course, a tree.
I drape the tall mountains
With endless blankets of green,
I dress the muddy earth around
With a velvety, grassy sheen.
I dance when the wind blows
Glow when the sun shines,
Snarl with the roaring winds
Meditate in moments sublime.
Home to countless creatures
Animals, worms and birds,
Giving you breath and food
Sheltering endless herds.
I cuddle mother earth
Wave to fatherly sky
Bending, lifting, twisting
Sometimes humble, sometimes proud n high.
Man!! Best creation of God !!!
Selfish under wraps of so-called HUMANITY!!!
Try being like GOD, kind and giving
For once, try being like a TREE….
