TINY TUESDAY - IT'S ALL RELATIVE

If I plant the kernel
of this tiny hazel nut -
hopefully one day
many years
in the future
it might grow into a tree
but I doubt it will be
in my lifetime.
So should I bother?
Of course - because
if we don't invest
in the future
what will our
grandchildren and
their children
have to look forward to?
That tree will outlive me
and anything
I have said or done
but perhaps when they look
at it, they will remember me.
