Photo of the Day – June 29, 2012

I Think That I Shall Never See…

I think Kilmer had Today’s Photo of the Day in mind when he wrote the poem below. I saw this beauty in Lee the other day, and had to turn around to take a few photos.

“TREES”
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the sweet earth’s flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
By Joyce Kilmer
