I brought all my fruit trees in <br />And stepped away from you my dear <br />You were the Summer <br />But now it’s clear that Autumn’s here. <br />Spring came and went <br />Blossoming through the blink of an eye <br />We were the bloom <br />But now the Winter will watch as we die <br />I brought the fruit trees in <br />Because of how we loved them dear <br />I’ll nurture them and keep them safe <br />And we’ll wait for Spring to return next year.<br /><br />Jayne Downing<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fruit-trees/
