The Baobab Tree Poem by Ima Ryma

In Africa 'The Tree of Life.'
The baobab tree is called that.
During seasons of arid strife,
It helps life in its habitat,
Providing water stored within,
Providing fruit the tree has grown.
Many of these huge trees have been
Alive for thousands of years, known
To generations of those who
Have come to depend on this tree
As a source counted on to do
The sharing what it has for free.

The baobab tree, symbol of
Enduring gift of nature's love/
