look closely for the clue...
Of finding...
this small clay pot...
when falling...
from high in a tree.....
landing right inside.....
and sprouting.....a new life
I am a Pine Tree, no more than one inch high!
And this...
Is my Mother!!!
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
