With it’s strong but graceful stature;

Protector of the forest but dependent on it too
Home of many, and parent of thousands    

Age that can only be told by its rings
Playground for whoever wishes it is

Producer of the things you need most
Builder of homes and tools,

And creator of millions of toys
In danger from us somehow

Even though we depend on it
But even though we are constantly a danger to it

We are able to help plant the seed that will create them
Oak, ash, hawthorn, hemlock, gum and many more

Yes it is the beloved, and amazing; tree
