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.

Excellent job here. I love the picture...it gives mystery to your words. I think you are going to be another of my favorite writers on here...

A most beautiful piece of poetic Magic, here. Words will do no justice describing the divine power in this one. A very pleasant write of devotion to a loved one. Nothing better or stronger than that! It has been captured so well, here. Wonderfully Magnificent!

Simply gorgeous poem my friend. Flowed beautifully. Now why can't I write like that!?

i love how you speak of the continuing energy of a tree, although it's leaves may fall off and die, springtime will come and it will bud and flourish again. I wish more people had this rather realistic view of the ebb and flow in a relationship...there would be a lot less divorce, I think. I also like how you did not describe what type of tree, whatever she chooses to be , you are there to support and strengthen her.

simple and elegant in its simplicity Well done Tate

Your metaphor is simply beautiful and profound, speaking of your legacy and love. What a visual, verbal work of art!

That's truly beautiful Tate.
This is a great poem, its lines compliment one another.

Beautiful, Tate!!
The roots of love run rather deep..

Very beautiful with great description to convey. Makes me think of (some) my kids slowly but surely starting to head off on their own. A very nice sentiment.
