They start out small, then grow up tall
Their leaves are green, but brown in the Fall
They shade us from the sun's strong heat
Their fruit Can serve as a delicious treat
Their lives Can reach over 100 years
They help the air stay crystal clear
Their roots help them so moisture won't drip
Those roots hug the ground with an iron grip
Birds use them to construct their nests
While others sit under them to lay down and rest
They hold up tough when storms arise
They come in all colors and vary in size
They are wonderful creations as you can plainly see
I often wonder what it's like in the life of a tree.
