Silent Witnesses
If trees could speak, what would they say?
As they watch from day to day...
Would they give their thoughts away?
If blood coursed inside of them,
Through a heart, beating again and again...
Would they feel what's been done to them?
Would they talk of the many battles fought,
By men who only fortune sought...
And all of those who died for naught?
Would they speak of the homes they provide,
Across this earth so far and wide...
Wherein, God's creatures do abide?
Would they discuss the garments they wear?
Their Spring, Summer, and Autumn fare...
Or the white blanket of Winter's care?
Or would they only continue to stand,
With boughs gently swaying in the wind...
Silent Witnesses to a Greater Hand?
