Notes About The Poem

The Unsung Friend

They always stop and look at me
Cameras often click my way.
They often gossip by this Tree
And they have a lot to say!
At times, they bask inside my shade.
They hug me just for fun.
The Tree, "the unsung friend" they've made
And I get to be part of their fun.

For instance, when playing hide and seek
They freeze behind me out of sight.
It makes me laugh when they take a peak
And jump out at their friends to fright.
Some consider me a masterpiece
As I feature in their art.
When they're near to me they feel my peace.
Now isn't that quite smart?

I have outlived many souls
Who used to greet me everyday.
Human love helps nature to feel whole,
What more can I say?
This is me. I am the Tree
And until my own time ends,
I'll be your joyous company
Your Tree, your "unsung friend".

Thanks Dorothy 😄 I love the way trees can become part of the fun... such a beautiful vast variety too 😍🤩 and when we think of the symbiotic relationship we have with them too [oxygen/carbon dioxide] they are truly unsung friends 💚💛😄🍃🌳✨️
