A World Inside A World
Where Nature Thrives
It is often forgotten about
Left to fend for itself
With no help from mankind
It still manages to survive
No one takes the blame for a broken limb
Even for a fallen tree
It is part of a cycle
Nobody complains when an acorn is half bitten and chewed by a hungry squirrel
If it is pushed under the leaves from a heavy rain
Left alone on the ground to rot and decay
The trees still standing continue to take carbon dioxide in the Spring and Summer
Turn it into clean air
They also prevent flooding and erosion
Taking in thousands of liters of storm water
They can live from one hundred years up to a thousand years
What do we owe this wonderful treasure ?
So look around you
Appreciate those tall trees that you see
They have been around before you were born
Will be around long after you are gone
Unless man interferes and cuts them down
At what price will we pay?
For we do more harm than good
