Mine is a boring tree... standing through time, enduring though adversity, not asking for anything, not expecting anything.

I can only hope to be as stalwart, as determined to continue... as grateful for the sun.

This reminded me of a childrens book that we read in either kindergarten or 1st nearly half a century ago. It was called: The Giving Tree. It's a story about a boy and a tree. The tree would offer various things to the boy that it felt the boy either wanted, needed, or could make use of in some way.

The tree could only offer parts of itself, so it would give the boy leaves to play in, fruit, and wood. The tree gave and gave without hesitation, and the boy, as he became a man, just kept on taking whatever the tree had left to offer.

The boy returned to the tree as a tired old man, and all that remained of the tree was just a stump. It had given everything it could (thought the tree), but as one final gesture, the tree straightened up its stump as best it could and offered the old man a place to sit down and rest.
