Falling Leaves
November 7, 2021
People are like leaves
Some are happy and light
But others sag heavily
Some are brave and bold with color
And others are dead and brown
And every leaf falls,
down,
down,
down,
one
by
one
Each one struggles to be most colorful, and some succeed; others don't
Some get soiled; some rot
Others; they blow in the wind and get lost
But some; they're triumphant, and in the end, they're remembered for their great beauty and vibrant color
