The Cycle of Nature - Paying It Forward and Back

A tree needs sun, water and soil gives back its fruit... and its shade on a hot, sultry day A bee needs a flower to pollinate gives the world honey sweetens life soothes living souls We too have our needs our sun ---------------- the warmth of parents our water and soil ---- their nurture our flower ------------- their love We too give back our warmth our nurture ~ our love

Thank you so much for the encouragement, Bill. btw, it was 100 degrees Fahrenheit with 80% humidity in my neighborhood in Chicago today. ~ Suffering succotash, Gershon
