I know that at times I have seen
Poems just as lovely as a tree.
A tree cannot cause me to sob
It just sits there, a pleasing blob.

Man talks to God knelt by his bed
Not haughty, lifting up his head.
Man does worship the Almighty
As he should, with humility.

Mankind weathers cold, then the heat,
Robins fly o'er and they do sheet.
Like the tree, man endures the snow
Hurricanes, when the wind doth blow.

Man is not puny as some feel
Why must we always be a heel?
A tree communicates with God
But man cannot, I find that odd.

Poems are writ by such tender souls
Whose names are Johnny or Nicole.
They write of sadness and of mirth
A tree cannot with all its girth.

Some trees are beautiful aren't they.
Loved the tie in between tree and man.
Some people just don't give a sheet but I can see you do!!

Take Care
