The Plant of Prosperity
The roots imbedded in the soft brown dirt
They spread out wide, so stable and rigid
They stand so high and calm, not acting pert
Between man and nature, they are a bridge
Leaves are the shields, they bring us shade
Children and adults, they see the appeal
Used in many ways, they bring people aid
As helpful as a tonic that can heal
Effected in many ways, but still stays
High above our bodies, they see us all
Resilient, strong, nothing in its way
We mustn’t let this being of Earth fall
We watch and wonder why they do not fuss
Man takes them for granted while they help us
The roots imbedded in the soft brown dirt
They spread out wide, so stable and rigid
They stand so high and calm, not acting pert
Between man and nature, they are a bridge
Leaves are the shields, they bring us shade
Children and adults, they see the appeal
Used in many ways, they bring people aid
As helpful as a tonic that can heal
Effected in many ways, but still stays
High above our bodies, they see us all
Resilient, strong, nothing in its way
We mustn’t let this being of Earth fall
We watch and wonder why they do not fuss
Man takes them for granted while they help us
