Love is like a great tree.
It has a strong trunk and many branches.
If you climb to the top, you can see things
for miles around, things you never
imagined were there.

A great tree has deep roots,
the invisible structure that
keeps its whole growth in balance.
A love can be only as strong
as its deepest root reaches.
May your roots be long.

Daphne Rose Kingma, The Book of Love
