To a Sapling, Pt. 4




          You're too close to a first year;

     please keep fighting for you.

 

 

  You now know everything in this world is a fight.

     Keep focus; keep your heart.
 

 

 

       Fight.

 

  When the nights come crashing down,

       the cool hitting,

          wanting to start processing you for winter,

  say with a stern shiver

     Not today,

       when it is my time.

 

 

             Fight.

     Yet, accept time.

 

 

       Know you're getting older.

            Everything fades.

 The life is slipping from your leaves.

  Don't fear as this is life.

   Red is no weakness.

     You are not weak;

    you just don't have control.

 

 

 

   

   Let hope never fade;

    let dreams flow through all you are. 

 

 

 

 

   Lovely tree,

   let love guide your growth;

   let love rest in your heart.

 

 

 

 

  Let the open plain never dissuade your purpose;

  God is the Sun, God is the Stream, God is the One who makes you who you are,

 

                       God is the One who gives meaning to existance,

                         no matter how small, no matter how hard it struggles.

 

You are a living testimony.

    I do believe parts 2 and 4 are my favorites. Your words hold such strong emotion and beauty, not to mention a wondrous and uplifting message.

    Yet again I find myself stammering... the amount of talent you hold steals away my words before air is even drawn into my lungs haha
    I do hope you'll continue writing ^_^

    At first I had no clue where you were going with this.
    But as I read on it became so clear, that the beauty of autumn is from living things, such as the trees.
    Very smart of you to master such a amazing piece.
    You make your readers think, helps keep that brain working. I really loved this piece, because it is different.
    Thank you and good luck in the contest.

    Loveandblessings2u & yours always
