I debated about whether or not to put it here on the blog.  Well, today I decided to go ahead and post it. What do you think?

What’s Your Name?

His name was criticism,
He chopped and chopped until the tree fell down.

His name was criticism,
He chopped the fallen tree into small pieces.

His name was criticism,
He tossed all the small pieces into the fire.

His name was criticism,
He walked away with nothing left but all the ashes

His name is criticism,
And in the distance, he gazed upon another tree.

Her name was love,
She watered and watered the tree, giving it strength.

Her name was love,
She carefully pruned the tree, helping it grow and expand

Her name was love,
She tenderly nourished the tree on to the road to full potential.

Her name was love,
She walked away protected by the tree’s massive shadow.

Her name is love,
And in the distance, she gazed upon the whole forest.

What’s your name?
