A Tree Can Be

A home

A poem

A friend

A grower

A miracle

A thought

Necessity

Our lungs

Sanctuary

A traveller

Grand old man

A huge bouquet

Lord of the soil

Our best antique

Submarine growth

A book in process

An aerial garden

Rooted in the sky

A botanical wonder

A natural sculpture

An old acquaintance

Rooted in the ground

Shelter for everyone

Our brother in nature

A relief, after people

Hidden inside the seed

Ambassador to the world

Ancient, eternal symbol

Giver of life to others

Picture of calm content

Granter of fruits to all

Barometer for our present

The most beautiful antique

Watchman of the wilderness

Known by the fruit it bears

God's forest masterpiece

Solidified air and sunlight

Call to action for our future

A shining green thought serene

Lost in a great tranquil dream

The fairest ornament of nature

An apartment building for birds

Symbol of strength and patience

A rich metaphor in beautiful ways

Giant and patriarch of the forest

A green thing that stands in the way

Connected above and under the ground

A poem that the earth writes upon the sky

Ancient, powerful, and majestic structure

A column, beautiful in colour and symmetry

A woody plant that regularly renews its growth

Contorted, bent in weird ways, still beautiful

A slow, enduring force straining to win the sky

A tall plant that can live for a very long time

Living being that has its own sort of personality

A nobler object than a prince in coronation-robes

Always grounded but never stopping reaching heavenward

Earth's endless effort to speak to the listening heaven

Giver of shade to those who wield an axe to cut it down

Far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver

More resigned to the way it has to live than other things

The kindest thing I know - it does no harm, it simply grows

Symbol of hope, self improvement and what we can do ourselves

A representative of age and beauty and the miracles of life and growth

Something so incredibly beautiful that it can bring tears to the eyes

A perennial plant with an elongated stem, or trunk, usually supporting branches and leaves

Made to live in peace in the colour of day and in friendship with the sun, the wind and the rain

A wonderful living organism which gives shelter, food, warmth and protection to all living things

A thing that branches, usually from a simple stem or vertex without forming loops or polygons

A woody perennial plant having a single usually elongate main stem generally with few or no branches on its lower part

An obstruction stopping the flow of wind and light, trapping water, housing insects, birds, and animals, and breathing in and out

Wandering forth in all directions with every wind, going and coming like us, traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day, and through space fast and far
