I Shall Protect The Trees

Times keep on changing, we keep on moving

But theses giant trunk rooted, shared our childhood memories

Swinging, hanging, hopping, and singing with little birds

O ! dear trees you are ornaments of parks and gardens

What a grandeur museum like green temples

In morning, watching you is just like watching god.

Whenever we need you, you there for us

Embellish our taste with juicy fruits, lingering

Adorn your love on special days with colourful blooms

And whenever I am tired, stressed with my problems

I seek peace under your wide flung branches

How sweetly you fan cool breeze in scorching summer

Whenever we feel oxygen in our lungs

Remember tall trees are in your service

With no demands, no conditions signed

Day and night on our duty, yet not spared from camp fires

And in return we reward, forest fires; assassination of tress.

O! tress you have been boon on this planet for years

We constructed our homes, when you are brutally axed

Yet we human never appreciate your dedicated service

Neither value your importance, you shower on us generously

And now we you are dying each day, each hour, each second

I am still a mere spectator, letting you disappear from earth.

Oh! no, no, no, I am not going to happen this -

I pledge I will save you, I pledge I shall protect our trees

From all selfish human needs and wants, blinded by desires

I will appeal to all tree admirers, who are still breathing afresh oxygen

O’ !trees, O’ dear trees you are our Saviour, you are our best friends

Family and home for millions of creatures and light of our souls!
