I once hung proud upon a tree,
A leaf with colors bright to see,
But when the autumn winds did blow,
I let go and started my journey below.
Falling gently to the ground,
I joined a heap of leaves all around,
Lying there in a peaceful state,
Awaiting the changes that await.
Slowly, I started to decay,
As nature’s cycle had its way,
Transforming me into rich soil,
Fulfilling my purpose without toil.
From the earth, a sprout did rise,
And I became a part of new life’s guise,
As a tree began to grow and thrive,
I knew that I had truly arrived.
The journey of a leaf may seem small,
But in the grand scheme, I am part of it all,
From tree to earth, and back again,
My journey shows the circle will never end.
So, embrace the changes that come your way,
For they will lead you to a brighter day,
And just like me, you’ll find your place,
In the beautiful cycle of life’s embrace.
