An old and stately tree grows
between sidewalk and fence
never pruned of family
feels and lives through seasons
lives a steady life to grow
wider each year.
Each spring branches out
tender sprouted limbs with
a new crop of leaves
roots growing deeper with time
between sidewalk and fence
an old and stately tree grows.
“The family is one of nature’s masterpieces.”
~ George Santayana,
philosopher and poet
