Cycle of Life
Drifting through life on an effortless breeze
Floating through the wind like leaves off trees
We start off lives as just a bud
Conceived from a tree planted into the mud
But over time we learn, grow, and thrive
Learning to do more than only survive
But then on one momentous day
We detach our stem and break away
Floating on our own path through the breeze
Floating through the wind like leaves off of trees
But then one day we settle down
And decompose within the ground
The end of our race is finally run
But for other buds, life has just begun
