Small spindly pear tree
overwhelmed with lovely fruit
strong enough to bend

About this poem:
IF YOU GO AND CLICK ON POST A COMMENT the whole tree shows up its awesome.. My little pear tree..

I was just mowing my grass.( 3 acres) I notices my little pear tree. its only 4 feet tall 4 inches at the base 2 lonely branches coming off the base and little twigs coming off that the the branches are like 2 inches around at the most.. I almost cut it down a few years back because i was sure it was dead.. I just didn't have the heart.. It is so loaded with pears at least 50 that is bent completely over touching the ground..

I have been so overwhelmed with my own grief and locked inside my depression I never noticed or I would have found a wedge for the 2 lonely branches..

Nature never ceases to amaze me.

A lovely Haiku CountryLady. The relation of our life and life is beautiful. The grief you have and that we all feel becomes less apparent for me when I see the bigger picture that surrounds us. You will overcome this grief time and time and half again. How we persevere is what makes us stronger and others stroger to see that it is possible to be more than just a mirrored reflection but a window.
