Tree Tops

Ever since I was a little girl in foster care I noticed the Tree Tops

They were ever pointing upwards to the beautiful blue sky

The wind made them dance gentle movements

They were happy therefore their happiness comforted me

I was in a foreign environment

Yet the Treetops gave me comfort, happiness and joy

A true story from a 5-year-old

“See how this evening the tree-tops are gilded by the setting sun. So likewise my soul appears to you all shining and golden because it is exposed to the rays of Love.”

St. Thérèse of Lisieux
