 The Baobab Tree

In Africa "The Tree of Life,"

The baobab tree is called that.

During seasons of arid strife,

It helps life in its habitat,

Providing water stored within,

Providing fruit the tree has grown.

Many of these huge trees have been

Alive for thousands of years, known

To generations of those who

Have come to depend on the tree

As a source counted on to do

The sharing what it has for free.

The baobab tree, symbol of

Enduring gift of nature's love.
