Wood plays an important part in our lives
An organic material that literally grows on trees
Trees are not just things of beauty
They capture carbon from the atmosphere
Helping to create healthy air for us all to breathe
A new born baby sleeps in a wooden crib
That child lives in a home built from wood
Sits in a wooden chair
Eats at a wooden table
His food was prepared with a wooden spoon
He goes to school and sits at a wooden desk
Reading books made from wood
Leaving school with a diploma made from wood
He starts his career by knocking on a wooden door
Interviewed at a wooden table
Taking an office job with a wooden desk
Signing papers made from wood
Receiving a paycheck made from wood
Getting married in a church made mostly from wood
Building a new home mostly from wood
Furnishing the home with a lot of wood
Building a dog house with wood
Adding a wooden fence around the property
Sitting in a wooden rocking chair on his wooden porch
Sleeping at night in a bed framed with wood
Planting trees to grow wood for the future
Grill parties fueled by wood based charcoal
Cutting down trees to gather wood for the fire pit
Collecting family memories in wood framed photographs
He grows old gracefully in his favorite wooden chair
Passing away and laid to rest in his wooden coffin
