If All the Trees Were OaksIf All the Trees Were OaksWhat if all the trees were oaks.How plain the world would

seem;No maple syrup, banana splits,And how would orange juice be?Wouldn’t it be a boring place,If all the people were the same;Just one color, just one

language.

Just one family name!

What if all the trees were oaks.How plain the world would

seem;No maple syrup, banana splits,And how would orange juice be?Wouldn’t it be a boring place,If all the people were the same;Just one color, just one

language.

Just one family name!

But…If the forest were the world,And all the people were the

trees;Palm and pine, bamboo and

willow,Live and grow in harmony.Aren’t you glad, my good friend,Different though we be;We are here to help each other,I learn from you,

and you, from me.
