Chemist Tree

I have been learning by a tree.
The central tree.
The essential tree.
Roots deep down, spreading into all science.
Branches spreading wide and vast.
Covered in leaves and colourful fruit.
Attracting those curious, hungry minds.
Ever growing tree, full of life.
Infinite learning, to the sky and beyond.
The tree that welcomes all.

People have discovered many things here,
Finding solutions for health, water, pollution, Earth.
Making the lives of others better through hard work, passion and dedication.
Through molecules and microscopes, solutions of colour and wonder.

As I sit under this tree I feel inspired.
To make a difference,
I learn and explore.
My mind, the world, the universe.
Oh, it is a joyful experience.
And I will tell others about this tree.
Hoping that they will seek it out, find it, love it, and enjoy it as much as I do.
To take what they learn and use it for the benefit of humanity.
As it can be done and has been done throughout history.
For a better, sustainable future.
For us all.
