Autumn's Journey

Autumn's Journey

© by Bud Lemire on Oct 10, 2014

The leaves are changing on the tree

Autumn leaves fall upon me

Orange and yellow and shades of red

The leaves have fallen and are dead

Through the winter the tree is bare

As the wind blows through the air

See the shape of the tree

It is bare, but oh not me

I put more clothes on in this season

Lower temperatures is the reason

The tree shows us that leaves will die

We call it The Fall, and never ask why

New leave are born in the Spring

By summer the tree has everything

The leaves are back, the tree is fully dressed

Covered with leaves and looks its best

Just like the leaves that fall and die

Our own lives will pass on by

In the Spring we'll be born once more

When our journey takes us to Heaven's Shore

Just like the leaves on the tree, we too have a cycle

we follow. We die, and are renewed in Heaven and

start all over again.
