Under a Maple Tree

by Michael J Falotico

                                                   Standing under a maple tree..
                                                     A rain drop lands on a leaf..
                                               All emotions erupt from this place..
                                                 A tear drop rolls down my face..
                                       The water runs down and falls from the tree..
                                         My eyes are blurred as the tear drops free..
                                       The rain drop is lost and dissolved on the land..
                                       My tear is caught and held in your caring hand..
