This sign appeared in a local park a while ago and with all the damage that has been done to the trees in Toronto from the ice storm it seems suitable to pay a tribute to the Maples. It was the maple trees in the park that took the worst beating.

Wonderful sign!
I was a tree climber when I was a kid!
A nice meaningful poem on that sign. So sorry the maples were damaged - they are such gorgeous trees.
and no author. hmmm...
I like it. Could apply to most any tree.
Very apt!
Delightful
What a neat sign!
And, it is heartbreaking to see all the damaged trees.
Ode to a Maple... that's a neat sign to find!
That's a great sign.
Sad for the trees but lovely sign!
Nice tribute to the trees
Lovely sign and sentiment :)
nice rhyme.
Lovely to see a poetic sign, one that touches on more than buying your mind. Such a lovely tribute to the grand maple trees.
Sad to hear your maples suffered in the storm. They are one of my favorites.

Nice sign.
As I was reading the sign I found myself hoping that the branch was still there.
wonderful sign - much better than the expected "no climbing" notice
Aw - that's lovely!

When I was kid I also had my own tree just like this.
Toronto will look so different with misshapen maple trees!
How cool, as a child, I had a big maple tree in my front yard that I would frequently climb and 'hang out'.
What a sweet and wonderful change from all the "NO" signs that we see in parks. I love the poem and it makes me want to climb a tree again.
The old Maple tree has even more poignant memories now.
Nice tribute!!!
We'll see what spring does. I was surprised to see birch trees, which are so fragile in these instances, bouncing back quickly.
