Tenderness

tenderness
is trimmed
from trees
I saw it
it was
there on
the ground
gentle shoots
all green
cut short
from growth
now gone

Careful who you let do the pruning.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Very enjoyable and I've read it several times. Guess we'll have to be careful who's holding the clippers.

This reminds me of my own contribution to the tenderness.  I think you're right.  Tenderness comes from growing, but dies with growth.  Yikes - where did I get that?

Helen:

I can relate to this in two ways:

1:  the tenderness ok easy one
2:  it reminds me also of my garden
which I have lost and that was a source of tenderness

You have touched me twice today Lady
thank you
