Tree Huggers
I think that I shall never see,
A poem lovely as a tree,
A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breasts
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair
Upon whose bosom snow has lain
Who intimately lives with rain
Poems are made by fools like me
But only God can make a tree.
~ Joyce Kilmer
