Give Homage to these great trees! After reading this article, I felt a need to share a poem I wrote, years ago (1980), for all you poets out there.
What Beauty A Tree.
A tree is beauty… A tree gives shade…
A tree gives comfort to all this day
A glamour to see with all its leaves
Flourish in beauty mobility at ease
Man kills the trees as ancient they may be
For man has eyes though he cannot see
With all it’s beauty it brings when old
A tree won’t harm and is quite bold
What Beauty A Tree.

They are alive, spectacular living things and if they could speak, just imagine the stories they tell as life moves forward into new generations.
