~ Fly, Little
Leaf ~
Colored leaves
break loose to
fly
across the
autumn’s amber
sky.
Floating freely
hither and yon,
Twisting,
turning, having
such fun!
Across the yard
they play so
free,
It brings such
wondrous joy to
me.
How I wish that
I could ride
With them on
their airborne
tide!
But, watch I
must, and smile
inside,
Knowing thru the
winter I’ll
abide,
Then spring will
bring their kin
to me,
To break free in
fall so
gracefully.
So, fly little
leaf, fly far
away!
I will see your
kin someday,
When spring
arrives, your
last years home
Will have your
siblings to
break free and
roam!
Enjoy your
journey, see all
you can,
There is so much
beauty
throughout this
land.
My whispered
prayers fly
softly with you,
Sprinkle them
gently as you
travel thru.
