Robertina B. Poet Rhyme

Hug a Tree

Hug a tree..
Because you see..
A tree will thank you..

As you live..
A tree will give..
You oxygen and quite a shade..

On a hot summers day..
Walking along the bay
Feeling you stepped out of a sauna
Scorching hot sun beating down on you..
Wearing your sunglasses..
Lens with a hue..

Running for cover away from the heat..
In a heartbeat you..
Found a chair and took a seat..
Under an old oak tree ..
To stay cool from the heat..

A sigh of relief ..
As a balmy breeze blows..

The old oak tree knows..
You shall thank it..

You gave your thanks..
For the shade under the old oak tree
A sigh of relief as you sip a cool aperitif..

A two way street it is..
Between you and the tree..
Graciousness on both ends..

You shall send affection..
When you a hug a tree..
Because you see a tree will thank you..
