Green,
vivid, beautiful, and cooling freshness.
That is a
tree!
It provides
us with oxygen, it brightens up places with a colourful charm.
A tree plays
different roles in different seasons.
During
autumn, it lets down leaves of all colours for people to admire while they flow
around. In spring, it grows a new family of leaves and flowers for everyone to
admire and feel vivid. In summer, the fruits are mature, fleshy and sumptuous enough
for us to relish on. During winter, the trees fold inside to protect themselves
from the icy cold and even the frigid snow. And this process continues smoothly.
Trees need
water, sunlight and carbon dioxide, which in some way, makes them related to
us. Rather than related I should say interdependent as we need oxygen whereas
they need the carbon dioxide. Hence we co-live!
A very
realistic picture is that when a child starts drawing, he/she generally starts
by drawing a blessing of nature—a flower; then gradually moves on to draw a
tree and so on. And that indicates human’s closeness to nature.
A tree interestingly
is home to all kinds of life. It houses many kinds and species of animals,
birds as well as insects and creepers. We use a tree’s bark for latex, its wood
for houses, fires, furniture and lastly, paper. The best quality furniture is made
from trees such as teak, rosewood. Antique carvings also were made by using
trees. Its usefulness is unending.
Trees generously
provide us with a cool and comfortable shade during summer or after doing
exercises in the hot sun, to relax under. Its leaves whistling through the
winds refresh us. Many a times a tree is the perfect spot for a picnic, to
relish a book, to study or if we just want a break and even the best place for
inspiration at times.
Since, we
are perpetually using trees for different purposes, we should also plant more
trees so as our future generations also can benefit.
And as the
saying goes, ‘When you waste a paper, you are wasting a whole tree’, let us all
be conscientious to protecting and growing trees.
