From a tree's perspective

My roots are firmly planted deep into the earth

My trunk stands tall unwavering to the winds

Withstanding the oncoming storms

My branches reach out toward the heavens

My leaves cover me in the early spring

Falling in an array of different hues come autumn

My reproduction of buds blossoms and seeds

I give life to replicas of me

I stand in the forest green

I line the woods with spectacular heights

I bend during hurricanes

I nourish and feed many with the fruit that I bere

I give shade on hot summer day

In winter I stand naked and bare

I stand in awe of my creater

I lean toward the sun

I represent life and the color green

I am refreshed in the awesome rains

I give oxegen to the inhabitants of earth

I stand tall in the rainforests

On the oasis of the desert sands I stand

I am a giant in the Redwood forest

Tall as a sequoia, small as a bonsai

Life on earth would not survive without me

I am many different types of wood

I shelter many a human being

I have become pencils and books

I provide a source of knowlege to pass down

Throughout the generations of mankind

I am an endangered species

I am a tree

This was very well written, your poem shows the importance of trees, something that is soon to be cut down to make more land... Trees provide more than paper.... Great Write!

What a beautiful tribute to something we all take for granted, at times. I'm surrounded by trees. I love them. :) Rain..

This poem is amazing! Of course I am a tree hugger. :) Anyways the whole thing was nice. My favorite part was "I am an endangered species I am a tree" It is so true..Good job! :)
