Ah,
the lovely Autumn leaves
clothe my tree
in loveliness!
Suddenly,
barren branches for a time.
Sigh . . .
As the dry, now colorless leaves
await raking
and burning
I scratch my head
and wonder why such beauty
contained for a season
in those deciduous leaves
had to fall??
Then,
I am reminded!
Like that tree,
I too have seasons
for which God has a plan!
As the leaves fall,
new ones
will come along in due season
with more strength
and beauty than before!
