Raintree Me  you come into spring first of green a gift you were, Johnny’s dream branches spread in sheer delight in June you become golden bright legend holds that those who find Raintrees shall grasp in kind all their dreams to come true so sit with me, enjoy the view inviting birds, bees, butterflies a harbor of health, wealth and wise soon golden rains shall come forth hearts of paper lanterns bring north winds to come, blow all away your work is done, you shall not stay but spring is promise, soon reborn for legends hold, and you are sworn to bring luck, happiness, all one’s dreams as secrets are held in your golden beams  [This message has been edited by Sunshine (edited 08-30-2001).] |

Karilea, This is such a pretty poem. We so often take for granted the wonder of nature's gifts. Obviously, you don't. Michael Michael Auguste~ |

I've heard of Raintree County, but I had no idea there was actually a tree called a raintree. The blossoms on it are beautiful as is your poem. This one section I had trouble following: "soon golden rains shall comes forth hearts of paper lanterns bring north" is there an extra letter or a word missing or my brain, LOL After all, I called my neighbor last night and asked if I'd left my head rolling around their house yesterday. |

Love the poem Sunshine...I think we all have a special tree, it may be a huge oak a stately maple or a "raintree". The older I get the more special things of the past become. Death comes not when we cease to breath, but when we cease to dream. |

Sunshine, Thankyou for bringing back memories of Raintree County. Such as, "look at the birdy, look at the tree, my girl's the prettiest in the whole county." Remember the photo taking session? Hugs for that one. Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |
