Group III
Trees
We all need trees – yes we certainly do,
You ask me why? Well let me tell you!.
Trees give us shade on a warm sunny day,
They also have nice branches to climb on an play!
Trees give us air – it’s a photosynthesis thing,
converting carbon dioxide into oxygen,
 what a magical ring!
So you see my friends, we DO all need trees.
Just plant one when you can – it’s really a breeze!
Love, Mother Nature

We Need Trees for Comfort
Under your wonderful shade,
We stood together and prayed.
As the years go by,
We find comfort and celebrate.
And watched your leaves fly.

We All Need Trees
We all need trees, just the same as birds and bees.
Without them it would be, like we were stranded in the sea.
We all need trees to satisfy our needs.

Only God Could Make a Tree
There is a poem that pleases me, that only God can make a tree.
We must stop this abuse, there is no good excuse.
Their destiny is ours to achieve.

Air We Breathe
Air we breathe, be fair to trees.
Apple trees and Maple trees.
All make nice homes for bees,
No fair to trees.
They make the air we breathe.

Trees
Trees are the bees knees,
did you know they give us air to breathe?
Trees are the bees knees,
they give us leaves.
Trees are the bees knees,
they protect us from disease.
Save trees for everyone, please!

Trees Are Beneficial
Trees make oxygen that people can’t see
And oxygen is important to you and me.
Trees are also homes to many things,
Some have feet and some have wings.
Planting trees is beneficial as can be.

Trees
We all need to breathe,
Thank goodness for trees.
A wonderful creation from God,
So I know it’s not odd.
To plant a million trees.

Trees
Trees are such a wonderful sight,
They get most energy from water and light.
In order to breathe,
We all need trees,
So let’s not harm them, alright?

Group III
Trees
Trees are all around us, trees are what we need.
They give us the essentials, oxygen to breathe.
Trees preserve our soil, and give us food to eat.
They give homes to animals,  and shade us from the heat.
Without trees, our world would be incomplete.

Priceless Gift
Trees abide, both far and wide,
Oxygen they do supply.
Made for you and made for me.
Better yet it’s flat out free,
A priceless gift.
