[hometext] => I love to go among the trees and appreciate them for all they do for our planet...this is for the trees.
[bodytext] => The tree stands before me bark armour of grey, I look up its stature to the branch and the sway. The leaves flutter and whisper to my heart. How do I tell me and the tree apart? Am I as strong and rooted as you? When my leaves are gone will I know what to do? Can my spirit rekindle year upon year? Can I keep the secret of all that I hear? Will I offer shelter from sun or from rain? Will I return year and again? Will I put my roots so deep to the earth? Will I only consume what I am worth? Will the sun honour and protect me from drought? Will the winds sing my song or am I tempted to shout? "I知 alive, I have life, please respect all I am. I知 here to give life to my entity Man. I offer you air for your lungs so you live, I stop all erosion, your houses I give. I support all your creatures from skies and from earth. When will you know me for all that I知 worth?"
