Thousands of seeds blew from the tree on a cool crisp autumn day.

They each floated here and there as the light winds blew them away.

One seed found a spot where the soil was fertile just before the autumn rains.

Throughout the winter there was no sign of that seed until spring came with its refrains.

Then, miracle of miracles a small twig reached from it’s grave and proudly saluted the sun.

The April showers gave it a drink thus it continued what it had begun.

The seed was no longer a seed in the dirt but it flourished and became a tree.

The tree that it became gave back to the earth by replacing used oxygen for you and for me.

There is a wonderful balance in nature… a balance that should be respected by all.

The cycle of life is completed by the seasons… summer, winter, springtime and fall.

Let us take care of this world where we live for it is truly one of a kind.

If we respect it and care for it we leave a for our children a wonderful gift behind.
