Falling leaves

Appear every season

They give us a reason

To embrace another journey

Meant for us only

They give us a place

To run our race

They are the purpose

Rising to the surface

They unveil a new chapter

Filled with joy and laughter

They show what God can do

How we changed our view

They set things in stone

They never leave us alone

And they show the plan

God will reveal when He can

Falling leaves

Are the passage of time

What we did during our prime

The pleasure we feel

What our hearts will reveal

What’s truly meant for us

The God we trust

The word we hear

How we let go of fear

How we learn to stand

While God holds our hand

All the steps we take

The memories we’ll make

What is sweet and pure

What makes us feel secure

What makes us smile

Even laugh a little while

The lessons we learn

The stripes we earn

How we gain strength

When we talk to God at length

What love achieves

Through falling leaves
