And mommy is a person so her tree is also in a way a Tree of the People – The People’s Tree, Too comadre.
Laura is a person of the people we call women who are mothers, and free allegedly at that no,? – a free person who can give herself a tree for xmas.

You are loved.

It is a beautiful poem; thank you for sharing it with us. And Merry Christmas to you and your whole family from Belfast!

I wonder how many of them specifically asked gifts from you.
I can also tell that there are people whose relationships with you will deteriorate if you don’t give them gifts at certain times of the year. For your reference, I will never require anyone to give me gifts every year as a prerequisite for me to be willing to maintain the relationship between me and the other person. I also can’t remember a time in the past when I have ever required anyone to give me gifts every year so that I’m willing to maintain the relationship between me and the other person.
The name I came up with for the sonnet is “This is the Spacetime to See You”.
