Tree

Tree What is this tree you plant It is called the tree of hope Tree of hope you say tell me more this day the tree is a symbol to all gone through suicide and those alive with mental health we plant a tree in parks and centres church and anywhere there wanted on the day we plant a tree we sing in memory we drive a yellow stake with the router the words are carved out yellow ribbons wrap around holding tree steadily people cry at this simple event twenty minutes is all it takes then when all are gone the tree begins to sing its own song letting people walking by know I am growing my branches spreading out stigma dose not grow here we have planted hundreds of trees and we will plant hundreds more a forest of trees to help and ease

Hi Niall:-) having seen the wonderful work that you do with your charity - the tree of life campaign is a wonderful way to celebrate the life of one who has passed often in tragic circumstances and their memory lives on forever:-) hugs Jan

Hi Jan , thank you for your lovely comment , yes it was always our intention to plant 'one ' tree in memory of suicide and mental health , four years later we have planted 165 trees and the last one was in Dail Eireann , F.B page 'TreesOfHope ' :))) hugs
