Premium MemberRose of Sharon




"I am the rose of Sharon and the lily of the valleys"
Bible, Song of Solomon 2:1

I call her Rose.
She came from Sharon,
A region in the land of Israel.
She's a Rose of Sharon tree.
You might have one of your own.

Anyway, Rose was a gift from a friend.
We planted her in our back yard and for
A couple of years, we watched her grow
And produce some beautiful blossoms.

Sadly  we sold the property and moved away.
It's been more than four years now, and I am
Sure that Rose has spread her limbs and is
Now displaying some breath-taking roses.

We miss our Rose. The short While we spent
Together made us happy and proud.  She was
An important part of our tree family  We are
Happy for Rose's new family who must be
Enjoying her as much as we did.


Premium Member- I Am Green And Smell Good -


Through many generations
Roots have forged strong bonds
that overlap each other deep in the earth

I am the oldest,
not untouched by the outside world
beauty and decay

Mixed with nostalgia and lush forest
children's play and laughter
When I look back
in slightly blurry images

No echo in the forest anymore
silence reigns
The city is growing faster than my family
the crystal ball cannot predict the future

Premium MemberFamily Tree

We grow our family exponentially.
Siblings Uncles Aunts Cousins and little ones.
Take care of our own.

Premium MemberChristmas Tree Cat

 
We put up the family Christmas tree, decorated with lights for all to see. Then, said have you seen the cat ? Within the branches she sat - and all day . . . that's where she wanted to be !

Premium MemberFAMILY TREE

May we be blessed to understand…an eventually see
how important it is to tend to, cultivate and nurture
our ever-growing family tree

For only a healthy tree with strong and healthy roots
can grow healthy leaves and branches
and produce healthy…beautiful fruits.

Premium MemberI am a Sequoia tree

I began life as a humble seed over four hundred years ago,
now I'm three hundred feet high and I continue to grow. 
I live in the north of California not far from the coast
and I'm the tallest tree on earth; that's no idle boast. 
I have a native American Cherokee name; I'm a Sequoia tree. 
But folks know me as a Redwood, and that's fine with me. 
I consider myself very lucky because I am still alive, 
many of my friends have perished in wildfires and didn't survive 
So, if you're driving up the coastal highway you can't fail to see,
me and my Sequoia friends and family towering majestically. 

Premium MemberJuniper

Juniper- a genus of evergreen

Under the cypress family list;

Neath scented leaves, new berries are green.

It had a place in mythology's mist. 

Protection, Long life, Purification

Expressed in religious celebration

Rejecting evil spirits in between.

Premium MemberTwain's Advice No 1

Why waste your money looking up your family tree? Just go into politics and your opponent will do it for you.
Mark Twain


I have spent a lot of time and money
My family tree has a lot of vacant branches
Hm, maybe I’ll follow Twain’s advice!

Premium MemberLight

‘I was born with the meaning of home running through my veins.”
—Lauren Eden The Lioness Awakens, Poems

Light

i swing
in trees I can’t get down from
i buried myself in leaves
the branches
of salt shine from Navy boots
spoiled in adventure
smiling
as i jettison
above sun
i’m at home
love my family
the military
the church
i swing
to the hereafter
and generations will be kind to remember God
the light
in my eyes
splashdown
as i leap
from the highest branch

Premium MemberPresence by the Christmas Tree


I read her old letters from time to time
Hoping one day she may still write
Pretending she's still just miles away
I'll send my letters out anyway
As I read the words I still hear her voice
In these passing moments my eyes get moist
All these times she talks about I remember well
Will you be gone very long? Why must you go at all?
I keep my thoughts, my memories
And share them with my family
All of us at your house on Christmas Eve 
Say Mr. Postman do you have a letter in there for me?

I still feel her presence by the Christmas Tree

Premium MemberFamily Tree

You come to me in my dreams
A foggy night a distant memory 

I will never see you in life
But I’ll share your face in time

Family roots tender torn apart
Broken due to slavers cold heart

What was meant for evil we pray
Leads to blessings victory days

First black president of USA
And black First Lady descendant of slaves

Family history tree with roots so old
Despite being beaten separated sold

Victory is your blessed rainbow 
First female president make it so
