Trees

If you could have something named after you, what would it be?

A WordPress prompt

A tree. A big tree that can give shade and comfort to lots of people. A tree that can provide a home to birds and other animals in the land. A tree that can provide food and nourishment, not just for people like us, but for the animals and the land itself. A tree that will protect the soil from erosion, and shield us from pollution. A tree that can give our grandchildren, and the generations to come, a place they can play around, or climb up to.

There are certainly a lot of benefits one can derive from trees. So many things the trees help us with. And so many, many things we should be thankful to the trees for. And so, if there’s something I wish my name would be associated with, it would definitely be a big, big tree.

Trees

by: Joyce Kilmer

I think that I can never see

A poem lovely as a tree;

A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed

Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day,

And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in summer wear

A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain

Who intimately lives with rain;

Poems are made by fools like me,

But only God can make a tree.
