The Leaf br br br A simple leaf I hold in my hand br and yet glorious wonders it does command br You started as a little seed br But now you breath life into this tree br Without you the tree withers and dies br The world would have to say good-bye br But even you do not endure br For your time here is minuscule br The tree lives on for many seasons br Your short life has it's reasons br And when the time comes for you to leave br You go in blazing colors cleaved br And if perchance a warm breeze is there br You'll leave this world with a little flare br You'll catch that heat wave in the sky br And ride to heavenly heights so high br Then in your final hours of rest br You'll land upon natures breat br And nourish the ground to continue on br The cycle of a new season's dawn br br br 27 July 2007br br JoJo Beanbr br
