Just One
a breeze did blow gently
as it will
and as it blew
one single leaf fell
the trees were green
and full even still
yet one of the first leafs born
from spring has fell
one leaf born in spring
and lived through summer
one small piece of God's
awesome wonder
what was once green
now pale yellow
where as we turn gray
it turned yellow
as hair falls so do the leaves
or vice versa
days pass like years for leaves
from spring to summer
a life time
to fall and eventually crumble
ashes to ashes and dust to dust
and so will end each of us
