Autumn Leaves

Like autumn leaves falling to the ground
The wind blows them all around…
To far off places, where they are found, in heaps of colors
With rustling sounds…
Our lives similar, for we are bound…
To earth’s seasons, we too, go round and round!
Cycles of life, in a span’s length of time…
Here for a while and then gone…
Leaving memories in scattered heaps…
Embedded in loved ones hearts they keep…
A remembrance like leaves, blown upon the wind…
Watching as new life begins…
Again, and again!

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 New King James Version
Everything Has Its Time
3 To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:
A time ]to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted; A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up; A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing; A time to gain, And a time to lose; A time to keep, And a time to throw away; A time to tear, And a time to sew; A time to keep silence, And a time to speak; A time to love, And a time to hate; A time of war, And a time of peace.

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
