They are tall and reach for the sky <br />Their branches stretch like arms <br />Home to our feathery creatures <br />Sheltering animals from harm <br /> <br />They grace our yards with charisma <br />As their leaves rustle in the breeze <br />Then they turn brilliant colors <br />Before they experience a freeze <br /> <br />In spring tiny buds start to sprout <br />As the weather changes again <br />Once more they are rich and full <br />Their designs a delightful blend <br /> <br />Ah yes, it’s the way of nature <br />Always so special to me <br />We are so very lucky to have <br />The wonderful majestic tree!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-majestic-tree/
