I am sharing this wise poem with our First Grade tree-studying friends, as I believe they would find it of interest. I am also tucking a copy in a long-awaited volume from Orion Magazine that just arrived, "Old Growth: The Best Writing About Trees." It won't be complete without your poem. xx Christie Wymanhttps://wonderingandwondering.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343349006357324362.post-51244818753635073262021-11-16T11:21:56.604-05:002021-11-16T11:21:56.604-05:00This is lovely, Amy, and a terrific mentor poem.
