Thank you for this Clip! I just sent this to all my friends in my contact list. Where did you find this? Thanks again!

You're welcome.

At the Bread and Chocolate restaurant here in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica, they have a poster on the wall of this poem. I like it so much that I just had to find the poem online to clip and share. If you haven't already, visit the clip source, which is dedicated to supporting urban and community forests. I love trees (a reason why I'm in CR).
