Beautiful Tree

O’ Beautiful tree
Your eyes upon me
Give me the foundation
Of your roots
Deep into the depths of the earth
Ground Me

O’ Beautiful tree
Your eyes upon me
Give me the power
Of your body
You are mighty and strong
Strengthen me

O’ Beautiful tree
Your eyes upon me
Give me the freedom
Of your branches
Swaying blissfully in the wind
Free me

O’ Beautiful tree
Your eyes upon me
Give me the splendour
Of your blossoms
Radiating to the world
Inspire me

O’ Beautiful tree
Your eyes upon me
Give me the vitality
Of your fingers
Soaking up the magnificent sun
Invigorate me

You are the foundation, that grown men seek
You are the power, that grown men seek
You are the freedom, that grown men seek
You are the beauty, that grown men seek
You are the invigoration, that grown men seek

And yet
You do not fret
You do not fright
For you know your place in this world

And in all your magnificent glory
You give life, to those who breathe
You give health, to those who bleed
You give home, to those who need

Stand proud O’ Beautiful tree
You are honored on this day

For You give, without complaint
For You give, without concern
For You give without contemplation

For you honour your place in this world!
