The Trees All Sing The trees all sing their songs to me, About their place in history. Since seedlings on the forest floor, Back a hundred years or more. How much the world has changed since then. They are surrounded now by men, When used to be just creatures who Lived in the woods, came wandering through. Upon rough bark, my hand I place And think I almost see a face Etched deep within the texture there. Can this tree understand I care? Can it feel how I watch it through Each season passing, as they do. Enjoying every changing scene, From snow and frost to summer's green. How I enjoy them all year long And listen for their secret song! Betty Lou Hebert |

Thanks Marge: My tree climbing days are over, but I used to spend a lot of time up in them. I taught my children how to climb too! I knew you had a rapport with trees! Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |

Dear Betty, I have been gone to a garden club convention. I could hardly wait to open my computer when I got home and I found your lovely tribute to the trees. Perfectly rendered as usual. Love, Joyce |

Dear Betty Lou, If trees could talk, what wonders they could share with us. Since they are alive, I have no doubt they sing, if only we listen with our hearts. Patricia 'When you find a dream within your heart, don't ever let it go. |

I've always felt that trees (and other living things) talk and sing to us. I always thought I was weird, but I didn't care. Now I feel like part of something. I love this tribute to them. Like Marge says "you rock!!" Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we might as well dance. |

I agree that there is some kind of communication between all living things. Most people don't take the time to look and listen. Glad to hear that you do. It's a special experience! Thanks! Betty Lou |

You know I sit in the forest in Lynn Canyon so often, and have for years and years. I have started to notice the tall ladies are creaking and I wonder if they are feeling age as I am?  There is one particular spot I sit and just look up and wonder about all the wonders these timbers have seen over the years, and I too, rub a hand across their wrinkled cheek.I loved this! |

Dear Mysteria: I'm glad to hear you also enjoy trees in all their diverse beauty! I have creaking ones in our woods too and they do look like old ones. When the wind blows some of them rub against each other and adds to the chorus. Love Betty Lou |

Dear Betty Lou I was a tree climber as a child and found peace and solitude in them! When you are one with nature you can 'hear' 'them' talk to you! A beautiful poem! Love Isobel xo |

Dear Isobel: How wonderful to hear from you! It's been a long time. I too loved to climb trees when I was young and spent many hours hidden in their upper branches, just enjoying the environment there! Love Betty Lou |
