A single leaf
Tossed in the wind.
Floating this way and that.
Gravity pulled it down
Towards the earth,
While the wind helped
Ease the downward fall.
Like a leaf we start on a tree
And as we grow
Life takes hold of us.
Braking us free from the tree,
Helping us to move forward in life.
As we float back and forth
We accomplish great things.
All the while gravity of death
Pulls us downward.
When we reach the ground
Our life will be finished.
Wither it is full of accomplishments
Or not is up to us.
We only have limited time
before we are nothing
but dust of the ground. written by Evelyn Creon
