Beneath the maple tree so old
with many stories to be told
that sheds its leaves of Crimson gold
it’s stable roots of love unfold.

Our Maple Tree. We were given two free shade trees, 21 years ago. I had requested two Red Maples but they weren't, as it turned out. I have learned to view a tree in bloom if I am looking for something specific. Still, it puts on a good autumn show.
