pruning

Last summer
grandmother with  grandchildren
garage sale on the lawn in front of the small house
I watched    
I was falling in beautiful appearances
I went before the pots placed
there were 3-4
among them,
I was attracted to the orange tree
strong and sharp thorns
soft and wide leaves
she said that next year, fruits will open
with smiling
I bought it
"you don't worry about everything"
she waved and smiled again
living room place it
on the south window and once a week
I only gave water
after a few weeks,
I thought of the future
I changed the pot to a greater thing
The tree was hard
it can reach the ceiling almost
even if the tree branch reach there
I don't want to
it is surgery
i thought like that
but wife thought it was good to pruning
"It is to make the tree healthy"
because we can eat more wonderful fruits
she advised it would be good
I did not listen
another weeks later
one day While cutting my nails
I thought about pruning advice
and i accepted I pruned three places
after pruning
I thought there will be no branches
I observed the orange tree every day
I looked at the branches
There is no change
I gave up
now when I wear glasses
today seeing it
next to the cut place
there is a new branch
I hold my wife's hand
wife's pruning for me
It is a true love
My love that did not do it
I know it was foolish.
