MURRAY COUNTY POETRYPoems by Murray Poets and Poems About Murray County THE TREES ARE HIS by John Homer Luffman1910-1987 "BUT ONLY GOD CAN MAKE A TREE" TRUE WORDS THE POET SPOKE. AND WHO IS THERE TO DISAGREE? CAN SCIENCE MAKE AN OAK? OF MAN-MADE SATELLITES WE READ, IN SPACE WE SEE THEM SHINE, AND PRAISE MEN FOR THIS MIGHTY DEED- WHY CAN'T THEY MAKE A PINE? THE WISDOM OF THIS MODERN BREED IS FOOLISHNESS WITH GOD. CAN MORTALS MAKE A MUSTARD SEED WITH STRENGTH TO BURST THE SOD? THE SPARK OF LIFE MAN CAN'T PROVIDE AND THUS 'TWILL ALWAYS BE, 'THO HE A MILLION YEARS ABIDE HE'LL NEVER MAKE A TREE. THE BREATH OF LIFE GOD MUST IMPART 'TIS KEPT FROM YOU AND ME. HE, EVERMORE AS AT THE START, ALONE CAN MAKE A TREE. Murray County Poetry
