Trees
We need to thank you
For all the things that we never think about
The dry spot in your roots during a torrent of rain
Turning the colors of sunset to show us your beauty
Preventing the sweltering sun from touching our fragile being
And burning a fiery red to keep us warm during a long night
After all that you do to improve are short thoughtless lives
Our thanks is shown through the pulling on a saw
As I look out the window of my cozy warm home
I see a haze of snow driven by a biting wind
and proud trees stripped of their lifeline.
They slowly sway almost dance
In the howling gale.
Then my thoughts
Slowly drift to these
Silent protectors
Standing forgotten
But still doing their
Part to their destroyers.
Earth saved with every breath
Countering a threat to our very existence
So trees on this day I thank you, for all that you do.
