Why God Made The Trees Poem by Juan Olivarez

For avian friends to sit on a limb,
Inside a vast green sea.
To rest inside as the old day dims,
Thats why God made the trees.

To build their homes up in the sky,
Swaying gently in the breeze.
To gaze at the world from way up high,
Thats why God made the trees.

For multi-colored butterflies to dance,
In unpretentious glee,
To inspire love and true romance,
Thats why God made the trees.

For tired old men to rest beneath,
Admiring birds and bees.
Such a rich legacy God did bequeath,
yes, thats why he made the trees.
