This Tree by Toni D

this tree we've grown into,
branched out and full
has held together and stood firm
in its own roots
surrounded by the soil of love
and a mother's earth
a mother's love and
a grandmother's heartbeat

stops

and these leaves we've been
hanging onto her
hanging around her skin
let go and
blow
with the wind

and that tree we were
will never be complete
without her heartbeat
without her

and we'll stem out
and branch until we bloom
and that tree we we're
will flower pretty soon

Yes
yes our love is so strong
even with my mama gone
instilled in our heart was a love
now my mother is free as a dove
she still blooms today
even though she went away
in our heart she will live
in our words that we give
our roots still stand strong
with our father, for he's not gone
with every heartbeat in my chest
I know my mother can finally rest....

She loved us all Dani...great poem...
