Falling leaves
Leaves, what are they?
Some people would say they are a mess,
Some would say they are a nuisance,
I don't see them that way.
I see a beautiful cascade of confetti,
Their colours,
The different shades of greens, the reds, golds and browns.
I see the old tree that they have fallen from,
They stand so tall, so proud, knowing and so wise.
They hear all, and see all.
They stretch their long empty branches to the sky, and say to our Father,
Thank you, for taking the weight from me,
I can now rest awhile, all my children have grown and left me,
But they have not gone far, I see them around my feet,
How they change, first they are green, now they are red and as
They grow older gold and brown.
Now comes the change in their lives,
They start to dry up and crack,
Mother earth then takes over and covers them with a white blanket,
And sends them to sleep,
There they stay until the sun grows warm and melts the snow upon the ground.
I look down! What do I see a new generation growing next to me,
The young saplings are pushing their heads through the earth,
Stretching, their tiny fingers for all their worth.
Life goes on and when the time comes,
Their children will grow and leave them,
Just like us humans, we are just the same, when you think of it,
Our lives are like that of the trees, and their falling leaves.
Don't you agree?

Motionless
If time could stand still, I’d freeze it here,
So you’d always hold me, close and near.
In your arms, where I’m meant to be,
Filled with the perfect love you’ve given me.
A bond so strong, a hold so tight,
To know you’re the one; my ‘Mr. Right’.
A blessing sent from up above,
In you I’ve found my one true love.
Our lives entwined to be as one,
Upon this journey we’ve just begun.
Where you and I will find no less,
Than eternal love and happiness.
