🌸 What the Cherry Tree Said 🌸
Twelve years ago…
you placed me in the earth
with gentle hands
and a quiet promise:
I will love this land.
I felt it.
Before the roots took hold,
before the seasons turned,
before you knew how deeply
this place would become part of you…
I felt it.
You stayed.
Through profound loss.
Through moments that asked for your strength
and met it.
You did not waver.
And so… I bloom.
Not because life has been without sorrow,
but because something true
was planted here.
Each year, I open
to remind you
you are still that woman.
The one who chose this land.
The one who knew how to stay.
The one who loves without abandoning herself.
Look around…
The cardinals return each morning,
their red wings like small flames of devotion.
The blue jays call out boldly,
steady and watchful.
Robins arrive softly,
carrying the quiet promise of spring.
And now…
a small family of wild rabbits
moves gently through the grass,
as if they know~
this is a place where they belong.
Just as you do.
The land has held you.
The animals have witnessed you.
The birds remember you.
And in their presence…
you remembered:
you belong.
And just like me…
you are still here.
Rooted.
Blooming.
Becoming.
