WHISPERING PINES TREES <br />Melvin Banggollay <br /> <br /> <br />When I took a summer in Baguio City <br />I sat below a shade of a smiling pine tree <br />Whose trunk is tall towering with glee <br />and leaves like a needle swaying gracefully <br />with the wind's gentle command and melody. <br /> <br />What a joy I behold as coldness was over me <br />as the cool breeze of the wind shares with me <br />the tenderness of her soft touch and serenity <br />While love birds sung above cheerfully <br />humming with the pines musical company. <br /> <br />Clearly, I heard them sung and prayed fervently <br />For man to stop burning the forest the scenery <br />Cutting down the trees over greed for money <br />without leaving a footprints of their beauty <br />in their desire to build temple of their fury. <br /> <br />Trees are our gift from God's bounty <br />We should not exploit over other's malady <br />For if nature will cry for justice to set free <br />Humanity will behold lot of catastrophy <br />as a price for destroying nature's ecology. <br /> <br />Indeed, we are God's only caretaker <br />Of nature He created with all his power <br />as he want to make our wold a wonder <br />and a heaven of His creations and power <br />for humanity to enjoy and care forever.<br /><br />MELVIN BANGGOLLAY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/whisphering-pine-trees/
