The Giving Tree


Once there was a tree..... and she loved a little boy. And every day the boy would come and he would gather her leaves and make them into crowns and play king of the forest. He would climb up her trunk and swing from her branches and eat apples. And they would play hide-and-go-seek. And when he was tired, he would sleep in her shade. And the boy loved the tree.......very much. And the tree was happy.

Once there was a tree..... and she loved a little boy. And every day the boy would come and play cars under her branches. He would swing on her tire swing and keep shade under her on hot summer days. And when he was tired, he would sleep in her shade. And the boy loved the tree.......very much. And the tree was happy. This boy is my boy. My 4 year old boy! I love watching my 4 year old play under his tree.... Every time I watch him play under this tree I think of the book, "The Giving Tree." I hope my little man has happy memories of this tree when he is older and thinks of his childhood.
