A couple of days ago I decided to walk into a Barnes and Nobles not too far from where I work. As I was walking into the store bopping my head to the so amazing music coming from my headphones a green book brought me to a sudden stand still.
I couldn’t believe it. Stacked high were these hardcover versions of The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein.My heart temporarily stop beating and a tear came to my eye as the memories of first grade came rushing to mind. I picked up the book and looked through the simple illustrations. I remember how this book had an everlasting effect on me. This book is one of the main reasons why I am who I am. After purchasing and re-reading it, it reminded me what true love is. It’s more than a feeling. True love is sacrifice.
This book has a special place in my bookshelf and will not leave until it’s time to hand it down to my kin.
Just had to share.
