*Your "Tree of Life" has many 'leaves'.......
not all are family...and friends*
It's that person
to whom you just said "Hi"....
While walking down the street
It's the driver of the car
you let back out of that parking space...
and returned a wave as it was driven away
It's the homeless person
to whom you gave a couple of dollars
without having been asked
It's that elderly person
you let in front of you
in the check-out line at the grocery
It's those to whom you gave a smile
those, whose name... you will never know
And may never......see again......
It's those acts of un-selfishness
that seem to be 'minor' in scope.....
But, not.....to those addressed-
These are the 'leaves'
that are on your....
'Tree of Life'...
Keep yours"watered", everyday
