What We Are

We are like the leaves on a tree
just as the leaves that fall in autumn
we stumble and fall.
Just as the sun rises every morning
we rise up and show our strength
and will to go on.
As the flowers in springtime do,
we brighten loved ones lives 
each and every beautiful day.
Just as the rain that falls from the sky
our tears flow gently at times
and quite harshly at times too.
they are tears of joy, sadness, love, and anger
but still we cry.
We are one of Gods creations
we are only human.
With Gods grace and wisdom
we will rise for we are his children.
