Life Cycle

When tree leaves turn into different hues of yellow, orange and brown…it symbolizes changes to the season of Autumn and signs of the upcoming Winter Solstice.

Winter symbolizes dormancy to plants, animals, and humans.

What we don’t realize is that everything and everyone on this earth has a life cycle to complete on its own pace.

When something or someone dies, they are going back to the earth and has new life somewhere.

We can’t always control life and death, but with acceptance and resilience; we can survive.

We as humans, could only control what is within our reach…which is within ourselves.

Stay within course, we all have a purpose on this earth; make it a worthy one.

Tree of Life

With resilence in the winter it falls into a deep slumber.

During this time, it takes a break to rejuvenate.

When spring approaches, it awakes with a loud roar…announces it ‘s presence with foliage and blooms of pink and white.

It is it’s own ecosystem…a home for fungi, bugs, worms and birds that coexist for survival.

When summer approaches, all its glory is shown to the world with ease.

When fall approaches, it’s foliage turns brown and blooms slowly falls to the soil.

At it’s finale, it has survived another year and another life cycle.

I am and we are the “Tree of Life”.

Only You

Everywhere I go.

Everything I see.

Everything I do.

I see “you” only.

You light the path, when darkness falls upon this earth.

You shelter me from the rain and cold, providing me warmth.

You give me hope, when all is lost.

Only you, can color my world with sunshine and rainbows.

Only you , are the one that gives me meaning in life.

With Or Without You

So many times, I ask myself, “Why do I love you?”

I love you, for all the things you were then and now.

I love you, for all the good and bad.

I love you, when you were young and even now older.

I love you, when you are here and even when you are not.

I love you, for all the wonders of life you taught me.

I love you, for your empathetic nature and your gentle smile.

I love you, for all the sacrifices that made me the woman I am today.

With or without you here, I still love you.

I love you mom, because you are my forever superhero.
