Dancing Tear Leaves Soft steps beneath the warming star over rolling hills of running green bring us to familiar friends resting close beside the water's gleam We pause to share a smile and give as we inhale their tender sway The tearful ballet of dancing leaves brings forth good comfort to the day So much truth and restful sorrow live within those weeping leaves Branches stretch down to brush the green and whistle the soft gentle notes of spring We pause to bathe in the giving wind as it lifts their fragile reaching arms The tearful ballet of dancing leaves delivers our love and God's good charm We applaud with silent smiles these blessed willows we have found We watch their branches twist and float as feathered leaves tickle the laughing ground Together we shall weep in joy and worship their dance of giving The tearful ballet of dancing leaves gives grace in God's green living Timothy Work -for my wife He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. Proverbs 28:26 |

I lost a friend by the name of Willow, who was a dancer by occupation and your poem absolutely touched my heart more than I can tell you. The images you created of a ballet in my mind with your descriptions of the branches and the swaying of them, truly was spectacular writing. I hope you do not mind if I send this about to some friends to read. |

Thank you all so much. Yes I am one of those lucky ones who has a great marriage. Next to God, my wife is my life. She hasn't read this one yet. I hope she will like it. Mysteria please do share it with whomever you like. It always amazes me how the same words can be used differently by God to help different people in so many ways. God bless you all and I sincerely appreciate your votes. Thanx - Tim He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. Proverbs 28:26 |

Your wife is a lucky lady. Hope she sees this in print! If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

I cannot get over all of the warm responses. Upon finding this site, I was very nervous about posting my work, for I had always just wrote for my own enjoyment, never for others to read. I am so glad that I have. God bless all of you so much. Reading these responses this morning has blessed me so and made this a day that much closer to God.
