I provided a link to the blog post as it was quite long <3 The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein Once there was a tree . and she loved a little boy. And everyday the boy would come and he would gather her leaves and make them into crowns and play king of the forest. He would climb up her trunk and swing from her branches and eat apples. And they would play hide-and-go-seek. And when he was tired, he would sleep in her shade. And the boy loved the tree . very much. And the tree was happy. But time went by. And the boy grew older. And the tree was often alone. http://www.symphonyoflove.net/blog/55/giving-tree.html] <http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=426355164058169&set=a.2305920236\ 34485.80826.188411217852566&type=1> A bit of perfume always clings to the hand that gives the rose. - Chinese Proverb <http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=426467547380264&set=a.2305920236\ 34485.80826.188411217852566&type=1> [Photo: A bit of perfume always clings to the hand that gives the rose. - Chinese Proverb] <http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=426467547380264&set=a.2305920236\ 34485.80826.188411217852566&type=1> The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials. - Chinese Proverb <http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=426513500709002&set=a.2305920236\ 34485.80826.188411217852566&type=1> [Photo: The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials. - Chinese Proverb] <http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=426513500709002&set=a.2305920236\ 34485.80826.188411217852566&type=1> You can't do anything about the length of your life, but you can do something about its width and depth. - Evan Esar <http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=426630724030613&set=a.2305920236\ 34485.80826.188411217852566&type=1> [Photo: You can't do anything about the length of your life, but you can do something about its width and depth. - Evan Esar] <http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=426630724030613&set=a.2305920236\ 34485.80826.188411217852566&type=1> Please 'Like' Symphony of Love <http://www.facebook.com/pages/Symphony-of-Love/188411217852566> <http://www.facebook.com/pages/Symphony-of-Love/188411217852566> in Facebook and share the Blessings and love.
