At the end of the tree planting season, Eliza made a video.
There were
bruises
blisters
bug bites
8pm bedtimes
4am mornings
bandaged feet
Christmas toe
hot days
eating on the move
wet boots
But there were
beautiful sunrises
great views of their province
fresh air
lots of critters
wonderful people
goals surpassed
opportunities
thousands and thousands of trees planted
Annie and Eliza came home after long, hard days with a smile.
Every day.
It was humbling to watch the video and read your poem.
