Happy, Happy Earth Day

Hug a tree, love your planet and remember that the earth is yours only for a time, borrowed from your children and from mine.

In celebration of Earth Day, one of my favorite poems...

Trees

Joyce Kilmer (1886–1918)

I think that I shall never see

A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest

Against the sweet earth's flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day,

And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in summer wear

A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;

Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,

But only God can make a tree.
