Our Trees
by David Harris
I am just a very little plant
I bear lots of beautiful flowers.
People who have me rowing near their home
are very proud of me
I am a beauty to behold
I am just a little shrub,
I am sometimes a vegetable fence around some homes
I am very proud of myself
When I am neatly trimmed
I make your homes more beautiful
I am a very sturdy tree,
My branches are long and strong,
My flowers are not so beautiful,
Neither are my fruits edible,
But I provide lots of shade.
I am a great big tree,
My blossoms are beautiful to behold.
my fruit are delicious
many of my branches are the homes of birds,
My owner is very proud of me.
I am a massive mahogany tree,
I am tall, sturdy, old and strong,
But I feel insecure,
My master is planning to soon cut me down,
I hope to provide furniture for many homes.
