Boon of trees

Trees are the greatest natural boon,

But they will disappear soon.

They have innumerable uses,

They are being cut because of these causes.

Trees provide us with food,

And shelter by giving wood.

Trees protect us from rain and storm,

Where else would sit travellers tired and worn

Under their shade, men can rest,

On its branches birds build many a nest.

Their biggest use is they purify air,

They also give us fruits like apple, mango and pear.

Many trees provide us with medicines,

But still wood is being cut and carried in tons.

Trees are being chopped,

This mindless lopping needs to be stopped.

Trees are help in keeping the weather cool,

Those who cut trees are fools.

Trees give us medicines, flowers and wood,

Should we let them disappear for good?

We need to plant more and more trees,

Only then we can live with ease.

Where there are so many uses of trees,

Their continuous cutting should cease

It is the duty of the whole nation,

To protect trees for our future generation.

If I were a millionaire,

Lots of money I would have,

If I were a teacher,

Lovely children I would teach,

If I were an architect,

Lovely houses I would construct,

If I were a servant,

There would be lots of work.

If I were an actor,

I would come on front page.

If I were a mother,

I would care for everybody.

But I am a child,

With lovely thoughts and a beautiful mind.
