Beautiful.

I'm glad you liked this piece. The tree is real and well as a metaphor. It's at Forest Hill Park Richmond, Va were I take my kids to play. We'd have races back and forth and would touch Our Tree at the finish. This poem means alot to me and I'm so glad it was realized, expressed and heard.

Thank you

I truly love the whole aspect of this poem. The tree being a metaphor for your family tree. Your mother, your father and you... at some point your mom and dad divorced and split their ways, but you were the middle and connected them both enough for the tree to stand tall.

Simply beautiful!
