Some leaves are born to fall

But some seem born to fly.

Some leaves tumble like stone

But some are lifted high.

Some leaves just head for earth

But some first seek the sky.

Some leaves don’t feel at all

But some have hearts that sigh.

Some leaves do not know when

But some know it is nigh.

Some leaves can’t stand their fate

But some in longing cry.

Some leaves demand more time

But some will not die dry. 

Some a bless’d breeze await –

Let’s pray that’s you and I.
