Maple Tree

What do people see, When looking at a maple tree? Could be soft green leaves in June; Maybe it’s shade on a July afternoon. Perchance a golden kitchen table; Or a hardwood floor, strong and stable. Perhaps it’s sap for maple syrup. Some might see a tree to climb up. Images of dazzling red Autumn leaves; Fuel for a fire on a frigid eve. All of these, I do believe; Are gifts of a maple tree.

Great exposition of all the wonderful benefits that a 'simple tree' can provide us. Don't we have a wonderful world when we just open our eyes?! Thanks for being my eyes on this one, Kenneth. FAVE time for me. Nature and Nurture, Gershon
