The Trees-3, Coconut Trees (113) Poem by VAIDYANATHAN.T. RAM

Oh my beautiful and sweet coconut trees,
How cute you are being created in this world,
With beautiful and greeny leaves,
Where your leaves are used from temples to cremetorium,
The leaves gives us good and cool shade,
Many makes handicrafts with your leaves,

Why not,
Sometimes, somewhere, somehow,
Used for lifting dead bodies,
Why not,
Sometimes, somewhere, somehow,
The leaves are used for making broomsticks,
Why not,
Sometimes, somewhere, somehow,
The leaves are used for making baskets,
Why not,
Sometimes, somewhere, somehow,
The leaves are used used as cups.

Oh my beautiful and sweet coconut trees,
Offering us a sweet coconut,
With sweet water from tender coconut,
Offering us a sweet coconut
To make coconut burfy, coconut milk or coconut rice.
More, more and more.....

Why not,
Sometimes, somewhere, somehow,
Even coconut shells are used in carving,
Why not,
Sometimes, somewhere, somehow,
Coconut shells are used as fuel,
More, more and more....

Oh my beautiful and sweet coconut trees,
The husk of the coconut,
Offered to make coir, rope, mat, brush, bags, scrubbers,
More, more and more.......

Why not,
The husk, the part of coconut,
Being used to make mattress,
You offered husk for birds,
To build their nest,
The husk, shells, flower stems, laef stems are
Used for fire in traditional kitchens.

Oh my beautiful and sweet coconut trees,
You offer cute flower stems,
Where it is used as medicines,
It is said flower stems are medicines,
For new mother's.

Thank you my beautiful and sweet coconut trees,
Dedicating your life towards the humans,
Why not,
Even to,
Animals, birds, reptiles or maybe insects too.
