Sherry and a Tree, my poem for my dad

My dad, visiting a senior pastor
invited to have a sherry
he said, see that tree? 
sometimes I feel just like 
that last leaf
how come the Lord has 
called the others home, 
my friends and family, 
but not me? 
And my father said, 
I see that leaf may be
the last one yet, stretching 
to the sun, restless
in the breeze, golden
in the world's bittersweet
mysteries.
