The life of being a Native Tree

I see crystal clear water, green grass and shiny yellow sand.
I fear the bright orange flames burning my barked skin
And termites eating me from within.
I smell the native Aboriginal people cooking fresh fish in their canoe.
I taste the salty wind blowing straight into my trunk.
I feel strong when I support people and animals climbing on me.
This is life being a native tree.
