Man, this is gorgeous! So full of loveliness! A resounding awwwh could be heard as the poem ended. What wonderful evoking of emotion-what a way to convey such an over-conveyed feeling!
And as usual your perfect flow and rhyme only helped your message through the minds (and hearts!) of your readers. I don't doubt that I'll return to read this poem again just to feel the beauty of it...

Really, thank you.

Lovely rhyme scheme.

The sentiment in this poem is loud and clear. The flow of this poem is like reading from a book, easy and understandable. You have done a wonderful job making your point clearly and in a beautiful way using trees and roots. I love the last stanza the most in this poem. Yet another relaxing and easy flowing poem to read.

So beautiful, and with a message of love from a father to his daughter as she sets off for college, so very appropriate! Your words are tender, yet so very wise.........rock solid advice and sentiments!!

[Samuel Dickens]

Such tender, meaningfull words for your daughter, expressing sentiments I can well understand. The use of the tree and its roots for metaphorical purposes is completely unique and works very well, too.

A grand declaration of a devoted heart.
