Sara Kendrick Poet Rhyme

Orchard Planting Time

.
When in marriage, life together just begun
       Planned on adding to this wordly estate
Planting an orchard was so much fun
       Foreseeing years of luscious fruit on plate

But all things of this world cycle
       Being brought down to death and decay
Very few of the trees still stand now
       They have gone to other uses_ maybe sleigh

These temples are made of dust and minerals
       They will be put away in the dark earth grave
But there is our soul which is immortal
       It will live forever and a day

Christopher Marcum February 3, 2011 at 10:22 AM smile -- so much truth amid insightfulness spoken within this Souls sweetened canvas my dear -- perfect strokes from a lovely brush through and through and, the final verse, in such a beautiful hue -- rich colours painting, your beauty, as a fave thus, framed in fave; this lovely poe and also, your precious self -- love, christopher ~

Carolyn Devonshire February 3, 2011 at 10:13 AM Memories of beautiful orchards and other scenes like flower gardens do linger in our minds long after the beauty has faded, Sara. This is a lovely, thought-provoking verse. In some respects, we are very much like these orchards only memories of our lives will fade, but for the few who make their mark in history. Beautiful! Love, Carolyn
