In that way I've realized that I touch others
although standing still
And stand tall, my branches reach further
I am special
I have the ability to touch the lives of she and he
without ever moving
For I am a tree
And this ability was given me naturally
I've learned to even reach those out of range
It was odd at first, even strange
But when I realized my leaves were needed
to shield some from the rain
my leaves were no longer restrained
Also in the winter time I trained
to help them gain
my source of shelter
from whatever the weather
including shade from the sun that swelters

I attempt to relieve prey of their predators
by creating ripples in inconvenient places
They escape to the safest of places

I help as much I can
I lend a branch
I send out leaves
I touch other trees
This is my life
until man comes...
and ends me

I am a tree
In that way I've realized that I touch others
although standing still
And stand tall, my branches reach further
I am special
I have the ability to touch the lives of she and he
without ever moving
For I am a tree
And this ability was given me naturally
I've learned to even reach those out of range
It was odd at first, even strange
But when I realized my leaves were needed
to shield some from the rain
my leaves were no longer restrained
Also in the winter time I trained
to help them gain
my source of shelter
from whatever the weather
including shade from the sun that swelters

I attempt to relieve prey of their predators
by creating ripples in inconvenient places
They escape to the safest of places

I help as much I can
I lend a branch
I send out leaves
I touch other trees
This is my life
