To Our Nicolas

 

We have planted this tree in honor of you

For all that you did and all that you knew.

Each leaf represents a person you have met

Friendships developed and promises kept.

The branches offer support and hope,

Everyday we grow---everyday we cope.

 

The trunk is the foundation that helps us stand

It defines the purpose of all mankind.

The roots seek nourishment under the ground---

Not being seen; not making a sound.

A tree represents life---it represents us,

It offers hope; it offers trust.

We love you Nicolas….
