Leafs of Life

Leafs of life falling so rapidly each day, as leafs begin to fall ages are behind you, time has left you standing so still and quite. As leafs begin to fall each Autumn, like summer you wonder, where has time vanished to. While the leafs slowly descend to the cold hard ground you know your days are short. Everyone wants to leave this world on a happy note, so as the last leaf begins to fall, ask your self, what can I do? Search out some poor soul and help them make their life worth living. wrote 10-1-08

James It reminds me when I saw a homeless man with a sign that said will work for food. I had just order a large Italian sub with the works and hot peppers. I wasnt thinking and I handed him the sub to feed him and as I drove away I thought about the hot peppers. I hope he had a taste for hot foods. Now when Im in the area I ask for sweet peppers and buy an extra bottle of water. Great poem God bless you for your kindness. Michael

I like the comparative analysis of the leave to life. The extended metaphor certainly paints a picture of life slowly going away each day. Hopefully, it's being enjoyed just as the leaves enjoy themselves in the summer months and as they show their beautiful colors in fall before returning to the ecosystem for a different phase. Great job! ~Joseph

Not just important message! A wonderful message! So full of humanity! James, I wish you the best of days in whatever stages of life you are going thru and know that life has been a little better for others because of you! You'll ride to the sunset proudly because of that! Brgds. George

What a beautiful way to end this poem, James. Yes...life is fleeting,... going way too fast, but helping others along the way gives it meaning and fulfillment. ~ Carrie
