The poem expresses the beauty of trees and nature. It describes a tree that stands strong with its roots in the earth and leaves reaching for the sky in prayer. A tree provides shelter for birds to nest and stands tall through snow and rain. The poem concludes that while humans can write poems, only God can create something as lovely as a tree.
