No, this piece was not written about or by a motherless daughter.  It's content touched my heart, and I wanted to share it with you. 

Faith In A Seed

As I went by a pitch-pine wood the

other day, I saw a few little ones

springing up in a pasture from seeds which

had been blown from the wood ....

In a few years, if not disturbed these

seedlings will alter the face of Nature here.
