If These Leaves Fall Poem by Lyn Paul

If These Leaves Fall

Rating: 5.0


We have met before
I do not know where
It was not in this life

I think of you
I see your concerns
I see in life
you take on everyone's pain

The connection is great
You light up a room
Your beaming smile
Yet... sometimes... sadness falls
from the tree of your life

I feel your pain

It always is
Only temporary pain
Yet if these leaves fall
Too often
Your tree of life
Will not heal

Your palm has been read
Life is mapped out
Your heart is here to heal
Your smile is here to glow
Your trail of life
Is here to satisfy others
Selfishness is allowed
On your tree of life

Give to others
But give to yourself
For we have met before
I do not know where
It was not in this life

The connection is there
There has only ever been
One other branch

These leaves cannot fall

Beautiful lines Lyn from a kind heart. We have met before, I do not know where. Very true said some connection is there. May be we are the branches of same tree. If all think this way, how the the world would have been. Beautiful flow of words. Loved reading it.

Your heart is here to heal Your smile is here to glow Your trail of life Is here to satisfy others Selfishness is allowed On your tree of life Very beautiful... Do unto others for we are all one family created by One God. Love your expression - a very sagacious voice.
