Tossing in the Wind
A single leaf Tossed in the wind. Floating this way and that. Gravity pulled it down Towards the earth, While the wind helped Ease the downward fall. Like a leaf we start on a tree And as we grow Life takes hold of us. Braking us free from the tree, Helping us to move forward in life. As we float back and forth We accomplish great things. All the while gravity of death Pulls us downward. When we reach the ground Our life will be finished. Wither it is full of accomplishments Or not is up to us. We only have limited time before we are nothing but dust of the ground. By Evelyn Creon
