TREES

We have reached the season when, once again, trees enchant…amaze…and enthrall…

as they begin to change their colors…and usher in the fall.

 

If we wait a little longer…the Autumn winds will blow

cascading their colors to the ground…as they usher in the snow.

 

When the snow is melting off their branches and birds begin to sing

we notice buds beginning to form…as trees usher in the Spring,

 

And those buds transform to leaves…as birds fill their branches with song

and the trees provide us with their shade…that lasts the summer long.

 

Until we’ve come full circle to where trees, again, enchant…amaze…and enthrall

as they begin to change their colors…and usher in the fall.

  

As we watch them offer us shade and beauty…

perhaps there’s a lesson to be learned:

Could it be the secret to life is giving…

 

while asking nothing in return.
