THE TREE PRAYER

YOU, WHO WOULD PASS BY AND RAISE YOUR HAND AGAINST ME;

 LISTEN BEFORE YOU HARM ME:

- I AM THE HEAT OF YOUR HEART ON LONG WINTER NIGHTS; THE FRIENDLY SHADE SCREENING YOU FROM THE SUMMER SUN, AND MY FRUITS ARE REFRESHING DRAUGHTS.

- I AM THE BEAM THAT HOLDS YOUR HOUSE, THE BOARD OF YOUR TABLE, THE BED ON WHICH YOU LIE, AND THE TIMBER WHICH BUILDS YOUR BOAT.

- I AM THE HANDLE OF YOUR HOE, AND THE DOOR OF YOUR HOMESTEAD, I AM THE WOOD OF YOUR CRADLE, AND THE SHELL OF YOUR COFFIN.

- I AM THE GIFT OF GOD AND FRIEND OF MAN.

YOU, WHO PASS BY ME - LISTEN TO MY PRAYER AND HARM ME NOT!
