Falling Leaves, Rising Trees

Falling Leaves, Rising Trees When I was young, ! thought falling leaves were sad. They fall at the end of summer and are a sign that winter is coming. The leaves on the ground were alive in summer. But a dry leaf on the ground is dead, right? Well, this is just one step in the life of a tree. The leaves that fall on the ground are food for the soil. The soil is food for the tree. The tree takes the food from the soil and grows bigger. It's a never-ending circle of life.

You know what else is great?The leaves make the fall season beautiful too! Now, I am no longer sad when fall comes.
