Autumn Leaf In the Pond
It falls gently to the earth
From the tree above,
The wind wisks it away
But, carried by God's love.
It finally comes to rest
In a lightly rippling pond,
The leaf went through many changes
Now, the leaf and water bond.
The pond gently cradles it
This fragile little leaf,
Rocks it back and forth
And finally, puts it to sleep.
