The Fallen Leaf

  the little fellow
    with tousled hair
  picked up the fallen leaf
    and smiled

  as if he knew 
    its secrets

  satisfied
    he moved on

This makes me think of the inquisitive mind of a child! It reminds me of the time I hid Easter eggs in the grass for my then 2 year old toddler son to find. But instead of eggs he gathered rocks as he was more interested in them and not the eggs! lol Hugs
