Barbara Walters famously asked Katherine Hepburn what kind of a tree she was. Though she received large scruntiny for the question, I have always known I'm an oak.
This Mother's Day I caressed my mother's love with flowers. Christmastimes, tulips, daisies or roses- a woman is not a flower nor a decorative ornament. She has substance inside, she's a tree. She stands tall, no matter what height she is. She stays strong no matter how old she ages. Everyone else around her is an ornament to her own design.
But a mother's love is a flower. A flower planted strong within the cores of earth. And her love grows again and again, always beautiful, but always in a new found design.
Happy Mother's Day.
What kind of tree are you?

This is such a beautiful post.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me feel ashamed that I didn't do much on mother's day =P
Ummm..... I am a eucalyptus tree.Eucalyptus gives you gum and stuff sticks to it-like my magnetism and charisma=P(That's so cheesy)
Eucalyptus' leaves are the shade of brilliant green and its slender ivory branches remind me of Gene Tierney.
More than identifying with eucalyptus I think I am in love with it.
Did you do the decorations?They're so elegant.
beautiful poem Lillian :) I would be a palm tree because growing up, they've shaded me away during the hottest and worst times and they bear fruit to such sweet dates. I used to despise dates as a kid and now I'm in absolute adoration, they're nature's sweet sweet candy!

A Eucalyptus tree sounds like a wonderful tree to be :) Yes, well it's my dinning room table decorations, but I set up the brunch.
