My Love

While lying beneath your canopy, I admire your silver-colored leaves,

I relax, captivated before a splash of sky.

I find the blue and green tones in your flora to be soothing,

diffusing your soothing oils for a calming and comforting effect.`

providing oxygen for me and protecting my priceless assets, 

lIt is crucial for human health to reduce air pollution.

Each year in the summer, you lose your outer ribbons of bark, 

exposing a brilliant, colourful, seamless, and sheer surface.

Essentially providing koalas with a big, healthy diet,

giving housing, food, and generously protecting wildlife.

Native flowers with nectar that draw bees,

birds scan gum nut pits and then fly away as easily as a feather.

Your roots do kindly creep so firmly and confidently,

connected, powerful, and profound embrace of Mother Earth.
