Future Self

One day

I will plant trees

that outlive me.

I will sit under their shade

and tell them

about the ones I’ve lost.


They will not answer

but they will grow. 

And that will be enough.​

There's something so resolutely soothing about this poem .

The fact that we will leave an imprint behind.

All the trees climbed, love stories caught beneath their branches, names carved into the bark, kisses shared, conversations carried, laughter floating through the air.

We might not be here but the tree will forever hold a part of that story!

Thank you for sharing.

💕💜

Ahh I love how you said that, makes me smile thinking about trees quietly holding our memories. Though I don’t officially support bark-carving 😆... still, your point totally stands and I appreciate it.

Kinda makes everything feel a little lighter, doesn’t it?

I would never carve my name in a tree 😉
