...a coconut tree. A coconut tree is known as the tree of life as all its parts are useful. Like this one, I wanted my life be of significance for God and others

The best little tree by the side of the road - This line is rom a poem I had read in childhood - If you are a shrub by the side of a road be the best little shrub by the side of the road - that is what I try to be - the best I can and be.

No, I am not a poet, these lines are from a poem I had read, It was a longtime ago so I don't remember the name of the poet.

I just want to be any kind of tree that God will make me. For me the kind of tree that i am gonna be does not matter. All trees have great inluence on shaping the ecology and in determining the present arrangement of life on earth. Trees remove carbon dioxide from the air. They sustain life of the biological species on this planet. Trees will protect us from heavy rains because they will absorb the rain water in the soil. Cutting will result to mudslide, thus loss of lives to both human and other biological life forms on this planet.

erratum: it should read as " All trees have great influence" not inluence.

A big banyan tree. It gives shelter for thousands during rainy and hot summer time. It lives for hundreds and thousands of years.

Good choice yummydudes! if i were a tree,i would like to be like Patriarca da Floresta,the oldest tree living in the world for more than 3,000 years old. Coz it discovers a lot of historical events and it was so strong.

I am really not sure what kind of tree that I would like to be, but I just learned something new today from your post. I did'nt know that the coconut tree is known as that. Thanks for sharing that, I try to learn something new every day.
