call them a tree huggers

I have a small sculpture about 4" tall of a Baobab Tree (African "Tree of Life") I purchased at the African cultural exhibit in Walt Disney World that is hand carved and imported from Africa. It is for our 2nd youngest g-son. I have it displayed on our fireplace mantel with an accent light that can be turned on to highlight it. I plan to give it to him when he becomes old enough to appreciate it.
I tell you this because this poem will now be placed on my RL for future reference to it's significance to the history of these trees.

Thank you so much for such a timely piece.

goodness T!

hard not to envy the gift..surely, surely
the lucky Boy will cherish
the tree
of life.

RL is humbling.

the tree
is not native to that place
its species is a Madagascan
and somehow its seed made its way
across the ocean

it is a spiritual experience
visiting
not just for the nostalgic reasons

peer's visit
and honor
is but humbling.

welcome is the peer
always
appreciated
immensely

I love the vivid imagery, I felt like I was sitting in that tree as someone told me it's storied history. Great poem.
