Will You Still Be My Daughter? A Fable for Our Times

There was a beautiful strong oak three who spent her days enjoying the sunrise and the breeze and the birds, and especially the clouds that formed patterns in the sky. One morning an acorn fell from one of her branches, and she watched in great satisfaction. "Ah," she said. "A Daughter! That's what I have always wanted, a Daughter." She looked down at the acorn and smiled. "Hello, Daughter!" "Hello, Mother," said the Daughter. "This is good," said the Mother. "You will be here close to me, and I will watch over you. You will grow to be just like me and will be my Daughter forever."Pearson, Carol Lynn is the author of 'Will You Still Be My Daughter?
