The Chestnut Tree

For eighty years I’ve been coming to sit beneath this tree, observing the cycle of birth and re-birth. Emerald springs spent playing under its blossom; golden summers spent picnicking with my children in its shade; fiery autumns like this one spent watching my grandsons gather its chestnuts. But now, as it must, winter is coming.
