Everything Trees

Everything Trees

They’re shade 
From the sunshine 
Shield from the rain
Pulp for the paper
And wood for whittling 

They’re body’s 
For climbing 
Arms for a swing
Markers of time 
And fruit for picking


They’re trunks 
For the tapping
Billboards of love
Home for critters
High on up above 

They’re kindling
For cooking
Heat in our hearths
Leaves for the looking
With your sweetheart 

So everybody 
Listen to me
Give a big hug
To the
Everything tree
