Go Plant a Tree

What a joy it is to plant a tree,

And from the shallow earth to watch it rise,

Lifting its emerald branches to the skies

In silent admiration; 

To see Its strength and glory rising with each spring.

Nature has many marvels; but a tree

Seems more than marvellous.

It is a privilege, beyond words,

To plant a tree.

 A tree will always Speak  of companionship and rest,

Of growing beauty, singing birds, and shade.

He who plants a tree

Plants a hope….hope of a happy, peaceful and bright future for all

He who plants a tree Plants  joy;

Plants a comfort that will never fade;

 Plants peace……plants youth…… plants love,

When you plant your tree 

Remember,Forever and ever it belongs to you. 

When it’s grown-up you will lift your eyes

To see our tree against the skies.A great, tall, living thing shall be there for you and all to see ….
