she was a leaf
holding up the blossom
that grew above her
it is hard to love a flower
because beauty
is sometimes vain
that is why i love her
and not the flower
for leaves are not vain
they do not envy
they are kind
and they are true
it is easy to let beauty blind you
for leaves fall before petals wilt
