How valuable are trees to us? There are too many ways to count.
Thank a Tree!
If you read a fine newspaper.
Thank a tree!
If your house is made of lumber.
Thank a tree!
If you like a pretty shade,
Or a camping meal you made.
And the instrument you played.
Thank a tree! Thank a tree! Thank a tree!
If you hit a long homerun.
Thank a tree!
And your car has brand new tires.
Thank a tree!
If you eat an apple pie,
Put maple syrup on pancakes stacked high.
Use a bed for some shut eye.
Thank a tree! Thank a tree! Thank a tree!

I was thinking of the tune “If You’re Happy and You Know It” as these different words came to me.
This Friday, April 27th, is Arbor Day. Trees are plants that are beautiful as well as beneficial to us. Take good care of these plants so we can continue to enjoy all the items they produce.
