Poem Artwork

Consider the Leaf

 

The scientist will tell you the leaf of the tree

Has what they call a biological engine that allows it to be.

It collects the sunshine and evaporation from its surface

Will help cool the plant, that’s part of its purpose.

The leaf collects carbon dioxide from the air around

Through the roots of the plant which draws water from the ground.

When the leaf first starts to form on the branch of a tree

It begins to grow in the form of a bud but will soon be

The source of the raw materials that nature provides

It is by Gods wondrous works by which nature abides

And the leaf on the tree is just one more way

That God gives us life to sustain us each day.

So when you look at a leaf, appreciate God above.

For the leaf sustains life, one more act of his love.

For sure, Lew, plants are a necessary ingredient to the balance of our solar system. We need them, and they need us. It's the oxygen/carbondioxide exchange! Having said that, this certainly was a good lesson in botany and God's love. Thank you.

God Bless

Good flash of botany, biochemistry and spirituality. A stimulating composition on nature and faith.

I salute You, Poet.

Long healthy life through a blissful productive living.

Karma Bank to Following By Listening by Chiemi

These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
