Pear tree, Oh prayer tree
stretching your arms more high
to your God in the sky..
With green leaves you pray
in most faithful praise
and God the sun
downpours his grace rays
granting all your wishes
with fruit visible
and fruit invisible.
All your desire prayers
become gold pears.

Reforest to prevent violent weather
The world needs zillions of trees to stabilize
the weather. The violent erratic
weather of April is caused by the unprecedented
destruction of trees in Cameroon, Canada, the United States,
and most of the world. Only a few countries like Thailand &
China have banned logging. But China is importing lumber.
The equatorial rainforest is 70 degrees while
temperate zone desert
can be 130 degrees .. Each average tree evaporates 36 to 45 gallons of water into the atmosphere which become mist, clouds, and
then rain.
Reforesting the world
