Each Leaf That Falls Each leaf that falls is like a soul Who's somehow strayed away. It drifts awhile before it lands Upon the ground to stay. Appears it's lost it's place in life, But that's not really true, For there is re-birth every spring And life begins anew. It seems symbolic of the path Some people wander on. They feel their chances to return Have slipped away;are gone. But there is always hope that we Can find our way back to The One who waits so patiently, With love, to guide us through And how His heart must celebrate, At every one who turned, Returning to the path of life, With all their bridges burned!

' ... But there is always hope that we Can find our way back to The One who waits so patiently, With love, to guide us through And how His heart must celebrate, At every one who turned, Returning to the path of life, With all their bridges burned! ...' Betty, on a personal level, this really hit home and I will use it as my prayer throughout the day. Thank you so much. Hugs, Marti Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. |

I loved this beautiful poem but these lines held a special meaning to me personally, "And how His heart must celebrate, At every one who turned, Returning to the path of life, With all their bridges burned!" I loved how you used the leaf metaphorically - well done indeed. Howdy Neighbour |

Trillium, So nice to read your poetry again. A very inspirational piece that encourages our reconciliation with our God who loves each one of us so very very much though like the leaves we are so very distinct in our design and nature. God bless you my poet friend and I like the flow/meter and the 8/6 format of this poem. Good job. -Bob |
