Dear Ken:

Very appropriate image that you used there above the poem. It reminds me when my grandparents took me camping many years ago when I was a child. My grandparents showed me how to plant trees.

As to the poem: Wow! This even, smooth quatrain poem deals with a tired but determined grandfather who, after planting another tree, reveals to his grandson that each tree in the copse around them had been planted by his family.

I noted that each line has the same number of syllables: 8, so the rhythm and harmony of the poem is consistent and smooth. I thought that "prayer" might be two syllables, but it isn't, except if you are one that is praying, then you are a 'pray-er'.

As usual, your spelling and punctuation were perfect, and I admired that despite limiting yourself to the same syllabic count in each and every line, you still delivered a well written message with perfect and clever rhyming. That's an acquired talent. *Bigsmile*

Thanks again for sharing your fine work with everyone in the form of a perfect Earth Day awareness poem. *Thumbsup*
