Trees
trees provide shade for the weary traveler on a hot summer afternoon
they stand up-right just like humans as the seasons change
they change what they are wearing they color the landscape
they are always calm never in a hurry if you want to chat
they always have time for you they are especially good listeners
and like good children they usually remain where you left them
as a child i loved to climb into them from that vantage point
i could see the whole wide world curl up for a nap birds love to perch in them
it is where they build their nests trees make good neighbors

Yes, trees are so many wonderful and good things...you have captured it so beautifully here Annell!
I need trees.. they are the only one patient enough to listen.
I love that they always have time for us.......they live entire millennia in one place, yet encompass all of life in their branches.
Yes, they ARE good listeners!
