Trees

Forest’s Strength:

Hornbeam tree in forest's heart,
In your strength, life does start.
Leaves of green and bark so strong,
Hornbeam, nature's song.
In your shade, the world's at peace,
Hornbeam, worries cease.
Forest's strength in morning's hue,
Hornbeam, always true.

Autumn’s Gold:

Hornbeam in the autumn's light,
Leaves of gold, pure delight.
In your branches, life does grow,
Hornbeam, nature's show.
In your shade, the world's at rest,
Hornbeam, nature's best.
Autumn's gold in morning's hue,
Hornbeam, always new.

Hornbeam in the springtime's air,
Leaves so green, beyond compare.
In your branches, life's at peace,

In your growth, the world's alive,

Spring's green in morning's hue,
Hornbeam, always true.

Trees

Hornbeam Hijinks

Hornbeam trees in forest tall,
Their sturdy trunks, a tree's call.
I thought I'd climb, to see the view,
But hornbeam had a plan so true.
Its bark was rough, its branches high,
My hornbeam dreams, a funny sky.
I laughed and tried again with cheer,
But hornbeam trees, always near.

Treehouse Trouble

Hornbeam in a forest green,
Its branches wide, its leaves a screen.
I tried to build a treehouse grand,
But hornbeam had another stand.
Its branches swayed, my nails fell out,
My treehouse dreams, a funny bout.
I laughed and sighed, let it be,
Hornbeam trees, wild and free.
Now I just admire from afar,
Hornbeam trees, a forest star.

Hornbeam’s Strength

In woodlands where the shadows lie,
The hornbeam tree reaches high.
With bark so tough and leaves so fine,
It graces the forest, nature's design.
The hornbeam, a symbol of the strong,
Stands through the seasons, enduring long.
In every branch, a story's spun,
Of resilience found, of morning sun.
Through winter's chill and summer's cheer,
The hornbeam's presence is ever near.
A guardian of the woodland's grace,
The hornbeam finds its place.
