A Tree of Life

And there kindness grew in her heart like a blossom does in spring. It grew and grew and grew and became a giant tree filled with petals of green. It sprouted flowers of love and compassion and rained down on all those under wing. This tree became her heart, was her heart, and apparent to all for she displayed her love and kindness quite fashionably. All who knew her wanted to know how anyone could be so happy, so serenely generous with their life love. When asked, her response was, “Love is easy, it’s what the heart longs for. Give it a chance and it comes naturally.”
