Thanking Our Non-Ambulatory Siblings

Every day, we breathe oxygen; but do we ever thank the trees, which provide it? Trees, like humans, grow and produce offspring. They have roots in the soil; human roots walk upon the soil. Trees have trunks; humans have torso’s. Trees have limbs and branches; People have arms and legs. Tree fingers are tiny twigs, that grow from their limbs; branching outwards, they stretch to greet the sun; just as humankind looks upwards, to feel the warmth of the sun. Like humans, trees have skin; their bark protects them; contains their sinewy, wooden muscles and tendons. When trees breathe; they produce oxygen, which help humans to breathe. Trees generously share their, breath of life. Yet, how often do we humans thank the trees? They never expect it, but such a gift deserves a great big hug and a thank you. After all, it costs nothing to be grateful.
