Lessons From the Leaves and the Tree I

Lessons From The Leaves and The Tree I ( Life's Journey) Life was beautiful for all the leaves in the tree in spring and summer They flourished and bloomed under the warm summer sun and sweetest spring rain Their color brightened to a lovely shade of green that glowed with beauty Flowering blossoms from the buds of the fruit tree brought joy and delight Little birds would peck as they sit on the branches on the lush green leaves It was the best time of their lives atop the tree filled with happiness But life has seasons that never stay all the time they come and they go Spring and summer passed autumn came and its cold winds changing all the leaves Turning their color from bright green to brown and red yellow and orange Their brightness faded their loveliness spent and gone making them pale and weak How seasons changed them tempering all their nature through adversities Winter will arrive soon and do her task of sweeping the bough of the tree The faded leaves will go and leave the tree to herself to make room for spring When new leaves will grow to replace those that have gone in the cold winter In such a lifetime they have gone through all seasons in smooth and rough times That is how life goes for all the leaves in the trees in the cycle of life
