I planted a little story seed in the mind of a child, “If you could plant any tree, what story would it tell?”
Her brow wrinkled in thought until an idea sprouted.
“I’d plant a family tree to tell the story of our lives.”
“A family tree?”
“The roots would be the family growing strong. The trunk would the home in which the family lives. The branches would be each person and the love they share. The leaves would tell the stories of each life.”
“Trees need water.”
“The water would be their tears of joy.”
“What a beautiful tree.”
She smiled, “We’ve added another leaf.”
