To plant a tree

it is believed

marks your existence

permanently

 

to give your heirs

a growing tree

means more than

any property

 

the tree will last

and outlive thee

a life embodied

by a tree

 

things nowadays

move rapidly

yet a tree persists

in permanency

 

your progeny

will honor thee

beneath the shade

of your own tree

 

things come and go

but a growing tree

leaves a lasting gift-

Your Legacy.
