At our Tu B'shvat Celebration, we created this poem: There is no gift as lovely as a Tree
by the Temple Shalom Community There is no gift as lovely as a Tree Providing us life Fruit for our being Sticky maple syrup sweet apple blossoms Changing leaves provide a home for animals great heights for looking out fallen branches make sturdy forts Trees equal life! wind blowing through their branches cleaning the air our earth's breath my tree is a safe haven for me when I am mad for birds when they sing catching the pretty snow They share water with each other and their life with us useful long after they have fallen living with us forever |
