Transcription: Handwritten Text:
it may blow away. It
may crumble, it may be
pressed as a memory in
someone's thick book.
The twig of the branch
the trunk that grew and
held the leaf lived on.
Lea always made me
feel welcome. She was
light-
curing, welcoming, light-
hearted. I conveled for
Janelle.
Lea is gone.
Where did she go?
I will miss her.
Now the quiet voice whispers,
Hard times, hard times.
Lea is part of the tree,
I'm part of the tree.
What about the body + blood of the tree?
