Mrs. Tree

A warm welcome from Mrs. Tree and me.

Along with a quote or two or three!

"I think that I shall never see

A poem lovely as a tree

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest

Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day

And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in summer wear

A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;

Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,

But only God can make a tree."

~ Joyce Kilmer, "Trees," 1914

"Alone with myself

The tree bends to caress me

The shade hugs my heart."

~ Candy Polgar

"Happiness is sharing a bowl of cherries and a book of poetry with a shade tree."

~ Terri Guillemets, creator of The Quote Garden website.
