Recovery


Having left a golden chain tree behind 
At a previous home, 
I longed to add one to our yard 
When we moved. 
So we planted one three years ago, 
But before we could fence it in 
The deer ate all its lower branches. 
For the next two years it stayed almost bare, 
Growing just a few leaves, 
But finally this year it has recovered 
 And sprouted glorious chains — A reminder:
We, too, with patience and time, 
Can recover from our losses.
