Man, this is gorgeous! So full of loveliness! A resounding awwwh could be heard as the poem ended. What wonderful evoking of emotion-what a way to convey such an over-conveyed feeling!
And as usual your perfect flow and rhyme only helped your message through the minds (and hearts!) of your readers. I don't doubt that I'll return to read this poem again just to feel the beauty of it...

Really, thank you.

awww... short but very meaningful! nice job.

Good meter, good rhyming, nice flow start to finish, I like the dash in line 4 - adds a more lengthy pause whle reading (good effect). I don't understand the sequence/significance of punctuation (period after stanza one, nothing after stanza two, and exclamation point after stanza three - though I certainly approve of the exclamation point). I am only slightly bothered by a 'glow' to new leaves - I'd look for some other rhyming word, but not worry if I didn't find one. Nice work.

So beautiful! The use of a tree as a symbol is perfect and the overall flow and rhyme of this poem is fantastic too.

The tree has so many ways to be symbolic. I like the way you used it here. The roots are the staying power of love. Beautiful write.

I really enjoyed this Tate...just an awesome poem! I love trees as they are but they always held a mystical quality to me...I planted a tree for the birth of my son!

Oh how nice what strong words of love i read here ..
you will always be part of me..no mater what ,or anywhere we be
seasons change ,leaves may fall and lose their lustre only to glow again
they could be shaken by gentle breeze or a strong wind
but we will always be standing there you and me
lovely write
