UNDERNEATH THE APPLE TREE

He was walking in an apple orchard…in itself a beautiful sight to see

when he stopped to rest a moment…underneath an apple tree.

 

It was apple picking season…the aroma of apples wafted in the air.

The branches bent under the weight of apples everywhere.

 

He was captivated sitting there…wondering how this could possibly be

How could every apple be unique,

and beautiful

yet come from the same tree. 

 

No two apples were the same

although all were similarly grown…

they came in different sizes,

shapes

and colors

but each had a beauty all its own.

 

And he thought how humans are like the apples

hanging from this tree…

How all growing together

we are a beautiful sight to see..

 

How no two humans are the same

although we all are similarly grown…

How we come in different sizes,

shapes

and colors

but each one of us has beauty all our own.

 

And with hope in his heart he awaits the day 

for what a great day it will be

when the whole world can see what he saw

 

underneath that apple tree.
