When You Plant a Tree Poem
When you plant a tree,
You bring life into the world,
And give it a chance to grow,
To blossom and to unfurl.
With every seedling that you sow,
You show the world you care,
For the earth and all its wonders,
For the creatures that live there.
Your tree may start out small,
A mere twig in the ground,
But with patience, time, and care,
It will expand and abound.
It will reach beyond the sky,
And shade the earth below,
With leaves a fluttering in the wind,
And fruits a-ready for a tow.
A tree is more than just a plant,
It's a symbol of new life,
Of the hope and promise that we hold,
In this world of strife.
So when you plant a tree,
You plant a promise too,
Of a brighter, greener future,
For me, for you, for everyone we knew.
It's a statement of your faith,
In the beauty of the earth,
In the power of the natural world,
To give us all a sense of worth.
So go ahead and plant that tree,
And watch it grow and thrive,
And know that with each passing year,
You've done something deep and alive.
For when you plant a tree,
You plant a legacy,
Of love, growth, and hope,
For all the world to see.
