Thanks for letting me know about this poem, Christine. I love it. You are a truly gifted and talented poet. Everything I have read of yours so far, I've been really impressed by. You might want to consider entering this poem in the tree poetry contest I organized.

Christine, I am so glad you mentioned this poem.I just LOVE THIS!The strength yet gentleness of the oak, and the wisdom of the dove. Beautiful! Thank you,

With Love,

Symbolically powerful and meaningful, Christine. Thank you for sharing this offering. Love and best wishes to you,

The ability to hold a young one in our arms is so precious and so fleeting. We can only hope they have gained as much from those moments as we. It seems that way for you and your grandmother, at least.
Thanks for sharing this, Christine.

How quickly they grow. Beautiful symbolism in this, Christine.

There is a peacefulness and expectancy in this. It conjures may feelings of love as I read this.

God bless you. Kathy

AS the good book say's we are strong oaks....

Great write... makes me wannabe a dad or granddad or both...

Wonderful....

You do have a way with words Christine. Very nicely thought out and penned. Short, simple, sweet and to the point. I think this oak you speak of has an Angel perched at the very top. Well done. God bless.

A splendid, delightful poem...love the visuals

Lovely wording in this nature-influenced poem . . . Visual is fantastic!!!

Christine, first what a beautiful baby, and the photo is amazing. Your poem is so tender and loving. Yes Trees are amazing and they do have life beyond our knowledge..I enjoyed all of it.
Peace, love, and light,
Amber "Vivianna"

Awwwwww, this is beautiful, Christine, transcends the generations - well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Ah the wisp of life is so fleeting, enjoy while we can. The pic is cute.

This is a sweet poem, Christine, and Camryn is beautiful. My Great-Grandmother was the strongest woman I've known and she always loved oak trees. I never considered the connection as to why. Now, it makes sense!!

Have a great weekend!
Jill

So very lovely, Christine; both picture and poem.
