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
