Emerald Leaves by: Canaan Araujo
Every day, every month, every year, or even every spring,
A new life begins in nature's upbringing
Tall, arched, and sometimes even large
More stunning forms of trees grow both near and very far
Lime green, dark green, and even the purest shade of brown gold
Leaves shine and emit on the strong branch foundations that are eager to hold
Redwoods, aspens, maples, and even the strong minded persimmon,
All have one thing in common........they worship God and lift their branches to him
But even then there is one special tree that captures the knowledge of God's loving eyes and heart
A tree that reminds Him of Himself......steadfast, willing, and never to stray from His gentle gaze,
His lack to be apart
Yes, this tree takes awhile to grow, not like others
But God himself is training that tree to be patient, to wait, and be content with his teaching
This tree is strong like God's love and its roots are God's words,
That he will never leave us like any regular human, mammal, or bird
For this tree is the miraculous oak dependent to hold you up,
Like the angels arms when you fall, or the Savior's steadfast hope
God even placed a jewel which most people would think it was only light,
That this particular jewel would never be anything valuble or worth anyone's sight
But if you study closely you can understand what precious stone enshrouds in this majestic tree,
For it was there all along the glistening, auspicious, and the shining glow of emerald leaves
