A big old tree

Yesterday and today I smiled listening and watching as you play at the base of our big old tree that protects our home.
Recently the council workers have cut back some of the roots to replace the road and gutter as this tree has lifted the road.
You have both been a little worried about this whole process as you thought they had cut back the trees main sucking root, the root that sucks all the water from underground.
The tree would be very sad that this has all happened.
You have whispered to the tree, laid next to it, touched it, sat with it and just played at the base of it giving the tree some love and laughter.
This is very precious and I hope that you never loose this thoughtfulness in this big wide world.
