Trees

I have family 

They are connected to me by my roots 

Giving life to all living things 

Beauty is my leaves of green 

Protective branches stretch out…

Home for colourful birds flapping gently 

HELP! HELP!

My roots are trapped by concrete 

It strangles my roots 

I am trying to stretch my long roots but they’re trapped 

My hair is falling off 

So help me, 

Help my family

Don’t put concrete over our roots

And don’t cut our arms and legs off.
