Through this poem you pay your tribute to the Tree as well as the teachers who give so many things unselfishly. A great poem, thanks for sharing- - - To quote from this wonderful poem- - - A tree is a sincere teacher, Allowing and instructing the world, To learn and strive, To make persistent effort, Without a murmur, Without a word, To discover one's own potential, To discover the inner beauty!

If only we were more like trees The world, a better place would be. You have given our life giving trees the attributes and honored place they well deserve. This poem, so pleasant and so well written.!

Trees are friends, guardians, teachers and they play so many roles... the cruel and brutal cutting down of trees is the greatest sin. I find it unbearable... and pray that it stops.

Beautiful poem. A tree is a teacher, which give shades to many. Loved the concept. Thanks for sharing with us.

geeta, i myself have attempted something like this poem of yours but not completed it. in the town of corrales, nm not far from me, there are gnarled and twisted cottonwoods on either side of the road which make me think of wise elders. the earliest experience i had that i think of as spiritual was when i saw, really saw- as for the first time- a tree- a tree as a living being. two poetic references: are you familiar with joyce kilmer's poem trees? - if not, i think you'll like it. and are you familiar with the sonnet by e.e. cummings which begins, i thank you, God, for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees and a blue rue dream of sky... - if not, another poem i think you'll enjoy it as well. for beauty, glen kappy

Yes mam, the tree is a teacher and doctor too, nice to read,10.

A tree is the best friend of humans, a teacher is similar to a tree. t was tree beneath that Buddha was enlighten. A great poem by Dr. Geeta Radhakrishna Menon.

Nature teaches a lot! ! Thanks for sharing this lovely poem with us.

Hi Geeta, Hope you have read/heard of this Malayalam poem: thaan kotum veyil kondittum thanalekunnu thai maram. thaniykku veezhcha vannaalum nee anyannu thunaykkanam. This is the hardest lesson we should imbibe from the great teachers named trees. The trees, for that matter, all the plants, make the fruit, most often sweet and juicy, only for others to enjoy. And those who enjoy the fruit of their labour do not hesitate fell them, without a reason. And more often, the fruit is the reason for their demise. Very thoughtful poem from you philosophical pen. Thank you.

Truly, there is a lot to learn from trees, Always towards its goal, never complaining, calm, always giving and offering A lovely poem indeed......10

Absolutely wonderful, Geeta. I am now off to read part 1

A tree is a teacher dignified silence! Silently, moving towards a goal A tree is an unerring witness...... Dear Geeta, you bring in wonderful thoughts. i imagine that i sit under the shade of a big tree and meditate all these ideas you wrote. soo fine Geeta. thank you very much
