I haven't writen in awhile but the fall season and someone who is like alittle sister to me inspired me to write one more poem. I hope you enjoy this one.

I watch quietly as the leaves fall from the tree
As I sit here I wonder have I fallen from your tree
Once I thought I was a bright green leaf you were proud to know
Yet lately I felt though I have began to brown
The browner I become the more you prey that I fall and wither away
Have I become a burden one could only wonder
If I have not fallen I know one day I may still
But between now and then I want to be one of your bright leaves
My wish ... To help you become as full of life as possible
If I am or already fallen my you grow full and happy
Though it may hurt me greatly when I hit the ground
Seeing you thrive will still make me smile
With that smile you’ll know this falling leaf will always be proud of you

There's a peace inside us all
Let it be your friend
It will help you carry on
In the end
There's a peace inside us all

I know exactly what you mean!
This is a great poem
that expresses far to well
what I am feeling.
Maybe one of those gentle
rains will come and
help turn on the green!
Great Work!

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.

Well I looked to the sky for my anthem
The words and the music came through
But words and music can never touch
The beauty that I've seen in you
