Trees are to hide behind in 'Hide and Seek'.
Trees are to have tea parties under.
Trees are for kites to get caught in.
Trees are to make cool shade in summer.

Trees make fathers say,
"What a lot of leaves to rake this fall !"

poet's focus in the entire poem is trees that allow humans to enjoy the
time of their lives under their shade. The poem indicates how trees play an
important role in our lives as they give us air and food to live peacefully.
The poet tells how trees can give you happiness in multiple ways as birds
make their nests and children build their tree houses on them. Trees are
for hanging swings and for the wind to blow between them. The Trees are
there for kids to hide behind them in a game, also for families to have a
tea party, and for the kites to get stuck between its branches.

can also provide you with healthy food like apples and grapes. Trees can
help build your houses after they are cut down and they are also adored
by mothers when we paint them on paper. Fathers sometimes get angry at
trees as they have to collect the fallen dry leaves. But trees are always
beautiful and helpful no matter what shape or season they are in. Trees
always bring us happiness so we should love them back for their service to
us. .
