1.
Standing beneath the tree
Leaves starting to fall,
I caught a leaf,
My daughter said
Lots of money will come your way!
Within three days
The bank of Mum and Dad was raided,
The insurance for the car was paid,
And a bill for care was due.
I think my daughter meant to say,
Lots of money will go away.
2.
Standing beneath the tree
Leaves starting to fall,
I caught a leaf and wished,
Wished for peace in our world,
Wished for the hatred to be turned,
To be turned into love,
Into love of mankind to each other.

- Comment from author about the poem: When my daughter and I were in a park I caught a falling leaf from an Oak Tree. She said that it means a great deal of money will come your way, I though it meant that a wish would be granted, these are the words that came to mind for both answers.

A fine write Gold.
Thanks Orchi.
An old song suggested 'catch a falling star and put it in your pocket, never let it fade away'.
Plain to see the star you hold has not faded Goldfinch.
I share your wishes as i'm sure do most here. I know i have written on this same subject "shall we know peace when she comes, this stranger to our land"
Walk by your river in peace.
Thank you d a, peace will be with us all.
One if our friends had a notice in his hallway which went something like “Now that you have reached an age where you can support yourselves you are encouraged so to do!”
Andy,
Thank you for sharing your wonderful write accompanied by a stunning video...
musically and visually!
My love to Joyce and you!
~Laura~
Thank you Laura, you are most kind.
Our love to you
Andy
ANGELA HERE : WOW Uncle ANDY : I love October and all the cool visuals ! You always surprise me with your eclectic choice of MUSIC each day ! Its 1:15 pm (Wednesday) here and I am free til 3 pm : so just catching up on comments while BRIAN sleeps ! Harry & Meghan were in AUCKLAND yesterday and Ruth & I were able to see them from a distance. That will be the subject of my POEM tomorrow. IT is such a Blessing to have a Daughter : I found your poem very moving !
Falling Leaves have many connotations in Life & Love. I have heard say that as you handle the cascading leaves it means: Lots of money will PASS THROUGH YOUR HANDS ! That sure was your experience ! The second verse "Wishes Granted" is very special ! I like your choice ! Blessings & Love to JOYCE & Yourself : ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Thank you Angela. I have been listening to music for over sixty years so I have heard a great deal of it but I am still surprised at the wonderful music of which I am still ignorant, Tchaikovsky's Seasons is not new to me though.
Thanks, G. I enjoyed the part about love.
Thank you w c, yes that was the more resonant verse.
