Arbor Day
"Tree Planting Day" they called it
In Nebraska long ago,
Now we call it Arbor Day, and
Oh! How I love it so!
I love to plant a growing thing-
A tree, a shrub, a vine-
And know it will for years and years
Keep growing there, a sign
To children who come after me
That someone thought of them,
And left behind a living friend
More precious than a gem.
Betty Foust Smith
Cecelia-One of my favorite parts of spring is getting to plant seeds. This poem reminds me of Earth Day.
