a children’s book…
3 young sisters
plant a small elm tree
in their backyard.
Through the years…
the three sisters begin to realize
that the elm tree,
is their home.
The sisters see…
that the elm tree
remains with them…
watching over the 3 sisters
marking milestones
and holding time…
a tree of life…
As the 3 sisters grow
old…
with their tree.
