our lives are like trees
so young and fragile
but then suddenly enormous and strong.
the spring and the new buds representing a new chapter in our life.
the beautiful green leaves showing the highlights of our life.
but then there's the fall leaves.
so beautiful but also a calm before the storm.
some can't make it through the storm, but every tree makes it through the winter.
new buds coming through in the spring.
just like every person will make it through their winter and grow from it.
