The Leaf

Author's note: We are all leaves at some point in our lives but we must remain strong.

Leaf hangs on tree

Not ready to be free

Wind blows hard

Leaf loses its guard

Falling to the ground

Nothing else is around

Leaf is now alone

Wish it had known

How to fly

Not falling from the sky

Now must find its own way

In order to stay

Clear from being stepped on

Kicked around or torn

Hoping Wind will embrace

Leaf from Life’s face

Making it strong for any thing

And not afraid of failing
