Some trees are small and delicate, like people who need to be protected. Some trees have shapes that are so inviting, like people who always hug. Some trees are bent and deformed, like people whose hearts are hardened Some trees grow together, like people of a family. Some trees reach out to you, like people who know love. Some trees never survive the struggle of life, like people who are weak.
Some trees grow for hundreds of years, like people who stay in our hearts.
Some trees bear fruit, like people who have children. Some trees have needles or leaves, like people with their gifts. Some trees bend in a gentle wind, like people who walk in balance. Some trees need to be tended, like people needing love to grow. Regardless of shape, form, texture, taste, and sight, trees are very much like people.
