A Poem A Day Keeps the Therapist Away

Hi All,

The purpose of this blog, if blogs do indeed require a purpose, is to showcase both my poetry and terrific poems by other writers.

So without further ado.....on with the show

I wrote this one for a friend of a friend's baby shower. The gift was a tree sapling in a pot, the poem required relating the tree theme with the baby theme

The Simple Tree

A tree is so simple a thing.
All it requires to provide us with life giving oxygen,
Is a little sunshine, some water and a bit of caretaking.

A child also seems such a simple thing.
All he requires to provide us with life affirming joy
Is a little patience, some tenderness and a bit of love.

So Bless the tree and Bless the child.
The future depends on how we care for them both.
