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
