Plant a Tree

By: Delaney Romero

 

A mighty oak or weeping willow

The magnolia or the maple

They give us plenty air and use

For this we should be thankful

 

They give us shade in summer time

When the sun casts its hot light

They fill our house, in Christmas time,

With glowing, festive lights

 

They make our homes and furniture

While keeping our air clean

In return, what should we do?

Go out and plant a tree!
