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
