The lemon trees just flourish in the heart, they don’t care to grow in Israel or Palestine, they just flourish in the heart, they just give lemons for everyone who needs. Sometimes men cut their roots cause they think that lemon trees are not patriotic enough but lemon trees keep on flourishing in the heart.

I have a beautiful lemon tree in my back yard that gives me all the lemons I can use (all year) I love trees of every kind. They do grow in the heart. Ida |

Many things in life can be physically taken away from us, however, they can still remain with us if, as you have so poignantly expressed, we hold them in our  .   EA |

Beautifully expressed as usual. Somethings can't be taken from us as long as we keep them in our hearts. sharyn |
