I am Plant.  I am the towering Redwood.  I am the lowly Moss.  I am everything in between.

         I am Plant.  I am your help-mate.

         I am Plant.  I use the carbon dioxide you create--I change it back to oxygen for you.  I cure your ills.  I ease your pains.  I bring you Beauty.

         I am Plant.  I have a million shapes.  I take a billion separate forms.  I carpet your Earth.  I shade your heads.  I feed your stomachs.  I am always working for you, even when you don't see how.

         I am Plant.  Like much else in your world, you see me as expendable--as something to place and move on a whim.  You see me as existing to meet your needs, with no thought for mine.  You change me and alter me to fit your will.

         I am Plant.  Particular parts of me bow to your will.  That was the agreement.  But know this, the part you seem to have forgotten is the generalization--your general need for me in all my diversity.  Each part offers a unique gift.  If you lose that part, you lose the gift.  Can you see which of me will break the chain?

         I am Plant.  I am your help-mate.  I am needed in your future.
