The Leaves That Live

Deep in the forest behind the trees
I see a little meadow full of leaves
I walk all around to see each one
Wondering where they came from and why there was no sun
Why to wonder was simple to be
It was the middle of winter you see
Other leaves have shriveled and gone
But these ones still live on
Then a whisper came to my ear
Telling me to stay, listen, and hear
Because I have a story that once was told
Of a being so powerful to this day from old
You can see him in the rain you can see him in the sun
He is known to all and to all the One
He is Alpha and Omega the Beginning and End
The one set in heaven not down the bend
You give him your problems he'll carry you through
You can even ask him to carry you too
So as you leave the forest behind the trees
Remember you will always be one of these leaves 
Your body may die but your spirit lives on
Because you are a believer of God and his Son
