The afternoon sunlight, projecting through the large tree onto a small table and two chairs. Empty at sight, yet filled with love everlasting. An old couple’s life brought to an end after spending every afternoon together in that one special spot. The special spot they were wed at. Flowers surrounding, family and loved one there to celebrate the occasion with the happy couple. The small seed they planted in that yard long ago has now grown into something beautiful. Into the tree shading the table. Many say it’s the representation of their strong devotion to each other. The spirits still linger with love in every direction. It’s a place of family gatherings; grandchildren run free and play games. Parents sit around a table eating and talking. So many memories in this one backyard all seem to be happy for everyone involved. An empty house after so many years has life brought back into it, the newlywed couple that has just arrived to the neighborhood are brought to this place still seated in the old chairs. They have made promises and tradition, eating breakfast in this place every morning. Now the young couple is growing old as well. Still living in the same house, and eating in the same place. Once again memories of family and friends surround the yard; the tree is still growing strong. But now it is time for a new family again. The tradition will go on in this happy and joyful place. Love is and will be everlasting in that tree, and at that table.
