Tree

Tree See if you can tell Who or what I am It’s a guessing game So try I know you can. I am both above and below the ground Above the ground I’m green below the ground I’m brown I soak up all the sunshine, why do I do this? This is how I make my food we call it photosynthesis In the spring I bloom from buds come forth my leaves And in the fall they turn colors for all to see If you listen closely I’ll whisper if the wind And when I am chopped down a fireplace I’m in I’m home to many animals some of which can fly And I live so very long I never seem to die. So if you think you know my name Then shout it out real loud And make your mother smile And feel so very proud
