live oak green 



as if to 
live forever 

a live oak 
green 
yields nothing 
to the 
seasons.

    My, I love this poem. And knowing now that you and your dad planted it together is bitter sweet..his advancing age and illness. The tree will always know...a witness to your love for each other

    A lesson there in that tree....
    - I love the reflection of the broken fence in the puddle of water...sort of forms an arrow...:)
