O you trees whose branches are raised up high, <br />You whose trunks and roots can never stumble <br />Remain strong and very immovable. <br />Go, preserve your species and multiply. <br /> <br />Fight against those who treat you unjustly <br />For they must be taught a painful lesson. <br />The whole planet is not their dominion <br />But it is their responsibility. <br /> <br />Forbid not yourselves to bear fruits and grow. <br />You must know that it’s also your duty <br />To let yourselves survive successfully. <br />Your pride as strong trees let the people know. <br /> <br />You don’t need to be a sequoia tree <br />To be noticed and to be taken care. <br />You are all important so start to dare. <br />Go and use your rights to live and be free. <br /> <br />May everything that you have now prosper! <br />Keep your branches up and start to flourish. <br />Bloom the way you must and never perish. <br />And yes, may you all exist forever!<br /><br />Obed dela Cruz<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dear-trees/
