Arbor Day 2024: The Gift Of The Tree

 




"Then shall the trees of the wood sing out for joy before the Lord,
for He comes to judge and govern the earth."

(1 Chronicles 16:33)

Trees offer to those who love them

A message of peace and rest.

They bring the glow of the setting sun

As it vanishes in the west.

They tell of years that swiftly pass,

With little mark or scar.

They tell of evenings that know naught

But calm of evening star.

Trees offer to those who love them

Infinite wisdom and grace.

Underneath their boughs tree lovers

See Eternity's face.


"The Gift Of The Tree"
Lenore Hetrick
American writer and poetess
