SLOW ME DOWN LORD
Make me more like a TREE
I looked at my Apple Tree in Winter
Just a Trunk bare branches & twigs
Shivering but Shimmering under frost & snow
My Apple Tree tree was happy & patient
Waiting for the Spring & Summer !
One Spring Morning I was tidying the lawn
And my Tree was transformed with green buds
And leaves starting to unfold ~ but no Apples
First came the Pink Apple Blossom ~ so so pretty
And then as Spring turned to Summer ~ no hurry
Tiny Apples started to form & grew & grew & grew !
As Summer turned to Autumn ~ they were ready
Blackberry & Apple Pies ~ Food of the GODS
The apples were picked polished and preserved !
Soon the leaves turned yellow ~ red ~ brown
And silently fell underneath the tree ~ its job done
Bare for the Winter ~ BUT ~ ready for Spring !
