Fallen Leaves

The plot of ground had been decided

The measuring and placement designed

The seeds ready for the soil

The children delighted to help you

We were just planting a garden My Love

The path is fallen leaves, history’s lace framed with a blanket of tender blossoms

Dreaming of unified fruitfulness

Of children and their children

Being nourished and strengthened

Through the work of our hands

We were just planting a garden My Love

The path is fallen leaves framed by a blanket of tender innocent blossoms

The seasons were before us

The dreams of growth yet to come

Harvests, heritage, feasts and togetherness

Family and friends and abundance

We were just planting a garden My Love

The path is fallen leaves, days gone by, framed with a blanket of tender blossoms

Your arms strong with purpose

Your mind skillfully planning

Your heart beating with vision

Dust running through your hands

We were just planting a garden My Love

The path is fallen leaves, memories , framed with a blanket of mysterious blossoms

The hillside cloaked in purple

Royalty blooming all around us

Reminding us who we are

Surprising us with joy

We were just planting a garden My Love

The path is faithful fallen leaves framed with a blanket of tender blossoms inviting us to peace
