A seed sprouts and a life is born. <br />You are a tree, my friend <br />Stretching your hands to the sky. <br /> <br />A tree has a mind <br />It has thoughts and pains <br />Like you and me, friends. <br /> <br />A green friend holding me in the shade <br />You are my granny.. <br />Sometimes you are my great granny... <br /> <br />Many birds live in you and fly around <br />Coluds float above you. <br />You are a tall wonder. <br /> <br />A tree has an enemy <br />A man coming with an axe. <br />Who will take away your trunk. <br /> <br />Don`t weep dear friend <br />Many like me will plant seeds deep <br />And you will be reborn. <br /> <br />A tree cannot die and just die alone <br />As our minds are green for it <br />A tree is our hope....<br /><br />KEERTHANA DINESH 1998<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/trees-don-t-die/
