TREES

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.
