A poem in my garden

We have one such poem — a beautiful one at that — at home. A tree that grew along with my children and now stands tall just outside my window — moving on to a third generation to provide space for my grandchildren to run around it. Although I prefer native species to exotic ones, this tree is an exceptional exotic one. Introduced by the British, it is called Lignum Vitae (Latin for wood of life).
