A mighty tree has seen the full arc of life. As a tender sapling, it was lovingly nurtured, its roots fed with soil and water. When its branches grew lush and wide, people sought its shade. Lovers whispered beneath its canopy,and playful children climbed its limbs, swinging high, their laughter ringing in the air. In its prime, it became a companion to the old, their fingers tracing its weathered bark, sharing stories of time’s passage. The tree has known life— its birth, its flourishing, and its fading. Now surrounded by the company of quiet graves, it stands not in solitude.
