If the trees could talk
If the Willows could whisper
If the Pines could ponder
Oh every secret would be reveled

If the trees could talk
If the Oaks could croak
If the Maples could mutter
Oh every tale would be told

If the trees could talk
If the Grand Firs could gossip
If the Redwoods could spread rumors
Oh every person would know

If the trees could talk
If the Hemlocks could humor us
If the Deadwoods could show the darkness
Oh everyone would run

If the trees could talk in your forest... you would have to chop them all down.

Don't worry, you are not the only one who loves trees too. I really like this 5/5 stars. My favorite line is the last ones. I really get what you mean. Great job. *runs off to read more work* ;)
