From Green Seeds To Family Trees

Why can’t we be like autumn leaves Falling in love with each other? When I see the colorful leaves I think of all of us as sisters and brothers We all start from creation by God Like green seeds we begin And we grow like trees with souls brown roots deep within We branch out reach toward blue cloud Colorful leaves hang in wind Leaves don’t fight they all unite To dance and prance no sin. As we age we know our place In our fabulous family tree Given grace in autumn’s wake Like leaves we begin falling Falling from our family tree Falling in and out of love Angel voices calmly calling Us from up above. Colorful leaves sing to me Of autumn and family trees Of reasons we grow Of hope once old to be born again faithfully.

We are like autumn leaves and we will also fall down once, not to perish, but to become fodder for others and to be reborn into a new life. Beautifully written dear Caren.

Karen, I enjoyed your poem, as well as you telling another poet that she's entitled to her opinion, but more importantly, that you are entitled to yours without having it denounced in a comment. I'm sending you a soup mail.

Karen, nice use of tree and leaf imagery to depict the human condition. I love the sense of unity and togetherness as well as the spiritual overtones.

WoW! Karen, A good analogy on comparing people to seeds and then colorful leaves(trees).Trees and man were created by the same source. We all are different shades on the outside, but inside ( the core of who we are) is the same color. In addition to how you skillfully wrote, why can't we be like little innocent kids before they knew what color was? Well done. Thanks for penning such a write.

To be united in one whole loving relationship would be a grand utopia. Alas people fight and hate Your poem deserves great attention. Maybe we might learn. Blessings.

Theory of Evolution by Robert Charles Darwin is now established and proved. Life is initiated from non living things and is going through Evolution. God is neither Creator nor Administrator of the world. Our emotional bond with family, friends are separate and must be honoured throughout life. Blessings. Have Good Days.
