In the Trees

Great Trees stand the test of time, out living mankind. They may seem to be rooted still. Yet they have risen high above the hills. With a outlook over mans blood spills. Through the years and centuries they have surly seen and felt what mankind has dealt. It does not take eyes to thrive of emotion. It does not take eyes to be alive. It does not take eyes to see at all. These tall Trees tower above us all taking in things and free of sin. Mankind could learn from these magnificent creations. After all trees, vast forests are our tall still saviours. Giving us our breath, saving us from a gasping death. "We can't see the forest for the trees"

There are some trees still here that have lived for a very long time..So many of the orginal timber is now gone especially in the south..Great comparison of tree to man..Mostly mankind doesn't stand tall but far from it..I enjoyed reading this one today.Sar
