Fallen Leaves

Fallen leaves blown by the wind. I stood in reverence as your leaf fell slow and so Gracefully to rest from your work. Yes, from the family tree you have fallen, no more to shade your loved ones from the heat of the day, to listen to your voice as you spoke your heart. A leaf of love that labored, for of your love, you gave to all. New buds will grow. A new leaf will form and it too will await it's turn, for one by one the leaves will fall. Names will continue to burn into our hearts.The Great Healer will soothe the leaves that are still on the tree with His cooling balm. A new tree, the Tree of Life, leaves that will never fall await the fallen leaf that belong to His tree.
