Three trees for my three wonderful sons
from MississippiPhan:

May you always stand as tall,
May you cast a shadow as long,
May you put down roots as deep
As these three trees.

May you always hear birds singing,
May you feel the sweet breeze blowing,
May you be cooled by soft rains falling
Like these three trees.

May your days be warmed by the sun,
May your nights sparkle with stars,
May the moon spread its light upon you
Like these three trees.

"TREES" - by Joyce Kilmer (1886 - 1918)

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

Phriends of Phantom's Phorest
