Trees

Trees are the kindest things I know, they do not harm, and they simply grow.
And spread the shade for sleepy cows, and gather birds among their boughs.
They give us fruit and leaves above, and wood to make our houses of.

And leaves to burn, for an autumn scene, and in the spring new buds of green.
They are the first when the days begun to touch the beams of morning sun.
They are the last to hold the light when evening  changes into night.
And when the moon floats on the sky they hum a drowsy lullaby.
Of sleeping children long ago… Trees of the kindest things I know.
