Question

central idea of poem a teenagers Prayer

Answer 1

“The Prayer of the Woods” begins by telling us how useful trees are for humanity. They provide building materials for human beings. At home as well as at work, trees come to our use. They help us in building our houses, as well as the doors to those houses. They also help us in building the tools with which we earn our livelihood. They provide us with food and even help in building the table on which that food is kept. Trees provide us with the refreshment of all sorts. They provide shade on a hot day, and the juices of their fruits when we are dying of thirst. If we are cold, we burn wood to keep warm. We need wood to survive at every stage of our lives. As babies, we lie in cradles made of wood. In death, we lie in coffins made of wood. In between these two times, we lie in our beds that are also made of wood. If we need to travel from here to there, we use boats made of wood. Trees also provide us with flowers. Especially in a country like India, flowers are an essential part of all religious ceremonies. All over the earth, flowers are used to adorn and beautify our houses.
