Life's Tree

I sit with leaves falling from the tree Of lives sun rays shining on me The way time flies with no time to see They way they drop so carelessly Oh life so short with no time to spare To leave this place with nothing to share Only one chance to sit under there Watching them fall without a care They float to the ground like the falling snow With all my seeds still left to sow There is no choice when it is time to go As quickly as the sun will melt the snow While under the tree make it last The leaves fall quick And the wind blows fast
