Analysis of The Autumn Trees
The Autumn Trees
Lift your head, open your eyes and you will see,
One of God's greatest beauties -- the autumn trees.
Yellow like sunshine glows here and there,
Red fills in like fire -- too soon they'll all be bare.
That means snow and cold, biting winds,
It'll be March or April before this stuff ends.
Now comes the flowers and trees budding out,
Birds voices blend singing and sounds as they shout, --
Spring is here!
New growth, new life, everywhere to be seen,
The trees, once again, are full and green.
Summer is here, with days warm and long,
Many children are heard singing their favorite song.
School is out, we're free at last,
But before you know it, summer is past.
Then -- lift your head, open your eyes, and you will see,
One of God's, greatest gifts, The Autumn Trees.

About this poem
When I was told that a very dear friend had passed away, and was feeling very distraught, my husband took me for a ride in the country to calm me down. Then when we returned from that ride, I came into the house, sat at the table, began to write, and this poem is the end results of God's handiwork. Awesome!
