Progression

Like a leaf that buds in spring Then transforms to a leaf of green During fall turns color and slowly wilts Falling to the ground to decay Like a new book we turn each page Until a chapter is done In life we have many chapters We create a story as it unfolds Like the leaf at end of the season It progresses through stages Bud to leaf to colored leaf to decay Finally finding its resting place When all the pages are turned And the story is finally done Our chapters have been written We bid farewell as our book is closed.
