There are lovely trees around my house. People admire them but, thankfully, so do I. Often thought to photograph one of them throughout the year and let it tell its story. Never quite managed that. Maybe 2021.
The other day I took a photo of some of the leaves as they began to turn to Gold. I wrote the following few lines for our Parish Facebook page but this is my “cyber” home so want to include them here as well.
In these Autumn days
may a story be told
of banishing our fears
as green turns to gold
as the leaf changes colour
may it whisper “I’m here”
and as it falls to the ground
point to next year
for winter will follow
with spring on its heels
in the sprouting of buds
new green it reveals
may it speak to us now
and help us to cope
in these uncertain times
may it offer us hope.
