Poem -
Fruitful
The bough in the breeze offers to shake my hand,
As if to imply friendship! from foundation land.
Sometimes it bows, asking;" please water me?"
Then bestows shade; this pleasant comforting tree!
Many times offers flowers; for beauty sake!
Or nourishing food; in a fruit to take.
The sun gives welcome light; to help it grow!
So we can watch the dance; while wind doth blow!
Order in leaves, symbol of families,
The Master of all life, holding the keys!
The canopy extends; displaying all growth to Him,
The One whom really, went out on a limb!
Oh Lord; we thank Thee, for the gift of trees!
The fruitful ones exist; to honor and please!

Hi Jim! Excellent poem. Harmonious words saying everything that needs to be said about these magnificent beings and the importance they have in our lives.
it's almost like photographing with words
"The bough in the breeze offers to shake my hand,"
I can imagine the branch swaying in the breeze, extending its tips like hands to greet passersby.
I love nature and have a deep affection for trees. forever grateful

Jim I'm late to this party and a belated Happy Thanksgiving to you and here is an early Merry Christmas to weigh things out.
A great write and one that beats and flows more than well and love the theme also.
And Jim the best time to plant a tree is...now!
Stay safe my friend and thank you for sharing a much needed celebration of nature and what it can offer to one and all.
