I think that I shall never see
A leaf as lovely without a tree
When it falls upon the ground
So gently placed to be found.
A child gathers it in her hands
Carefully places it on the sands
Hoping to grow a brand new tree
For all the world new life to see.

I once met a leaf of a brilliant green
Waving at me as I walked to the gate
I wanted to stop and chat for a while
But didn’t have time, it was getting late
Springtime had passed, summer was blazing
There was that leaf looking wilted and tired
I wanted to stop and chat for a while
Heading to work, didn’t want to get fired
Autumn had come, the weather much cooler
That little green leaf was beginning to change
I wanted to stop and chat for a while
But a meeting was coming I had to arrange
Winter was here with a blustery welcome
I noticed the leaf on the ground in a pile
I said, “Sorry Joe, it was so nice to meet you”
Maybe next spring we can chat for a while

i am but one leaf
not important me
i just gather a little sun
and a few breaths
when it rains, a catch
a drop or two.
one leaf, not important me
but as a part of community
as part of a tree...i help
the world ....i run the world
i am just a leaf,
lying, dying on the ground
not important me
just decaying rotting
fibourous bit of dead tree
not important ******* me
but as community
as mulch and compost
i help protect the tree
and i help feed the world
dayumn!!
i am leaf
and
i amaze me....
