Broken Sidewalks

On the morning of my Grandmother's burial I took a walk beneath the tall Ohio trees. The trees are old. The sidewalks are old. 100 years ago men planted the trees. Later they made the sidewalks to stroll beneath the trees, but to avoid the cool dews. As the trees grew great roots broke the sidewalks. Now men cut down the trees that buckle the sidewalks. And now they only walk in the hot sun. Sometimes though the trees are tall and the sidewalks are buckled and crooked. The path is not level, but it is beautiful and dry.
