Have you hugged one today? overworked, underpaid at times barely noticed, she stands shoulder to shoulder against the elements, with feet calloused and waterlogged come april's pre daffodil showers, a high rise above the roots that house her, and a mere wink below the sky that both caresses and rapes her senselessly come the wicked season, proud, regal and stoic she is the blueblood that plays the martyr bred to hold the storms within, yet will quiver upon a wind's seduction then blush scarlet when her soul's exposure falls upon her, mother, child, dreamer, lover, matyr, sacrifial lamb god breathes through her; have you hugged one today? |

Lovely - are you a tree hugger? I am - keeps one well grounded Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

actually no, I haven't but I will, especially since I have been feeling the trees so much myself lately. You know, as soon as I read this: overworked, underpaid at times barely noticed, I realized you had just defined a mother . . . beautiful writing, Michele |

The good thing is you HAVE them. Even though they change and weather the winds, bowing gracefully to each gust...shedding leaves that we must arrest the tides of...blessed are they who give us shelter on the rise of summer days... Well done, excellent write |
