When Autumn Comes

When autumn comes to drop it's leaves.
Unreconciled, the branches greive.
To enter winter's long goodbye.
Awaiting spring, again to sigh.

Amidst the heat of summer's sun.
The planted seed will soon be done.
Only the rain of heavens love.
Can help the plant rise up above.

The seasons we all have to live.
Are waisted if we don't forgive.
A heart that's full of pain and sorrow.
Requires hope to meet tomorrow.

When someone needs a helping hand.
It's nice when they can join the band.
To know that they can sing along.
To harmonize in life's long song.

You are such a dear soul Robert; always a soft side of you to show in your wonderful poetry. I think there are many who could use a helping hand these days.

My heart and soul is moved so deeply by these verses. Thank you for thinking of me during this time of sorrow. I sit here now with tears....good tears though, hoping and awaiting a new season of tomorrows. It will take time.....but perhaps one day my harmony will return. God Bless you !!!
