The Leaf

by Mary Lord DeGrood - Leo

So graceful, you come floating in
On the current of the wind

So many left behind; you're on single leaf
The others to remain; that's your belief

You are free to roam; you are God's gift
To touch those hearts, that you may lift

Your beauty and nature, they will cherish
Until the next wind, their hearts will perish

To leave them behind, alone without you
They wonder where you are, and what you do

Never to return to the tree, the limb
The leaf, floating on the current of the wind
