Extraterrestrial

To greet an alien from afar,

Upon our Earth, a shining star,

The first thing I'd introduce with glee,

Would be the beauty of a tree.

With roots that dig in deep and strong,

And branches stretching all day long,

A symbol of life, both wild and free,

A sight that would surely make them see.

The leaves that dance in the gentle breeze,

A chorus of colors, a symphony of ease,

A home for birds, a shade for me,

A marvel of nature, a wondrous tree.

I'd take them to a forest grand,

Where trees together form a band,

And as they gaze upon the scene,

They'd know our world is lush and green.

For in a tree, so tall and wise,

A message to the skies implies,

That Earth is full of beauty rare,

A world we're eager to share.

So, to an alien, I'd say with mirth,

"Behold, the wonder of our Earth,

A tree, our gift from land to sky,

A symbol of life, let's reach so high!"
