Of all the pretty tress
the one that God loves best,
is that tall old apple tree
With sin's fruit it was blessed!
For how could there be salvation
from all the world of sin.?
Unless you seek redemption
as we all try to seek Him.
The fruit of Tree of Paradise
was the reason for man's creation,
But today whoever tastes an apple
is cause for his taste bud's celebration.
For this fruit can be eaten fresh
in salads,raw ,and best in pies,
And there is no other fruit so tasty
and won't be another one until we die.
Johnny Appleseed where are you now
you have missed your wishful dream,
for there's nothing better than fresh apple pie
than when it's topped with vanilla ice cream!

I especially liked the first two stanzas of this with its folky religious (traditional) theme. It got a bit off topic, in my opinion, going towards the happiness of Johnny Appleseed and delicious pies - think it would do better as two separate poems. Thank you for the entry to New Apples.
