Lyrics of the woods

Silent we stand, our presence not only seen, but felt

Wherever we are, we bring life for man and beasts

The air is iltered by us, providing pure oxygen

Yes, oxygen, the life sustaining gas for the Planet

Small birds and animals find a place to call home

Organic foods and medicines we offer with our fruits and leaves

And an amazing source of medicine, we simply aim to serve

The excellent shade we provide, coupled with the cool breeze

That rustles through our branches is comfort like no other

Our beauty is unmatched; the green canopy we form,

Streams of the sunlight through our leaves is a sight to behold

Standing tall, we dare to be different from the rest

Rooted and grounded, we stand the test of time, unwavering

Majestic and beautiful we tower above through thick and thin

Yet humble enough to support the weaker plants,

Our legacy is a force to reckon with.
