A miracle happened in Berwyn, PA.
A dead tree came to life.
Three weeks ago, that pin oak was a goner.
All its leaves had turned brown, curled up, and died.
It suffered the ravages of a record summer heat
And a Dust Bowl drought.
But I put a little water down on it anyways.
Just for old time’s sake.
And then the miracle occurred.
The little pin oak that could — did.
It sprouted new leaves.
A full set.
It decided to live.
100 years from now the people who live here won’t know how that tree survived.
Thrived.
But I’m thinking of making a plaque:
Mighty Oaks From Little Miracles Grow.
