AUTUMN LEAVES – EDITH PIAF (Les Feuilles Mortes)

 

Autumn sweeps in with coolness of breeze

enraptures the colours of nature with ease

captures the turning burnishing leaves

as they escape some are caught making art as they tease

and coax with enchantment our smiles; make believe

in the magic of the seasons and the balm that relieves

warms us in Winter so we do not grieve

the passing of the seasons and the reasons we leave

to be answered by a higher authority then retrieved

filtering through the ether; responding to our needs

the good to be alive days as we fall to our knees

whispering our thanks in prayers; exacting good deeds

the season of goodwill to all men needs no plea

for it becomes second nature when we thank God and please

Him who carries our burden; who grants us the Tree

of Life that grows strong and tall; it's decreed

that our roots cannot be uprooted and our goodness will feed

the Earth and will nourish generations who succeed

and walk in our footsteps and never concede

defeat over big things or small things but lead

mankind to a better way of life without greed

remembering the true message; remembering to heed

the lessons we are taught and sow and set seed

to live, love, embrace everyone no matter their creed.

Thanks for visiting. I am very grateful for the very kind comments and faves.

 

I didn't get the 6 months free of hospital pass that I thought I would, so tomorrow I am back to the hospital for an MRI/MRCP scan, but fingers crossed (and a lot of prayers) all will be ok. HFF and please enjoy a very happy weekend, dear friends. See you all very soon <3
