Raking Our Souls

The leaves have fallen once again,
another season has come and gone.
Those leaves teach us much
for they know they must fall,
yet they hang on -- proud and strong.
Our seasons throughout life are unique to each of us,
but very similar to those leaves.
Without falling we cannot reach, we cannot grow,
we cannot love deeper.

You know what -- we are those leaves,
we must continually fall and rise again 
in order to live and love to the fullest.
