Gillian's Winter Poem by David Archer

Every time
you see a tree
remember his love for you
numbered ten times
every leaf.

"But", I hear you say;
"Trees have no leaves in Winter
and like my life it is barren and bare";
Relax I say; The leaves may be gone
but the tree is always there.

"What when they chop it down" you say;
"there will be nothing left to remember";
Relax I say; Life, like some trees, is short;
but beautiful memories live forever.
