Thank you for your kind words.They mean alot to me.This tree was my saviour as a child, I really wish I could go there today. Alas it was taken away by a storm many years ago, & I do not live in the same state anyway.

I have never read the story you mentioned, I'm glad my simple lil poem reminded you of it tho.
