Fallen Tree leaf

[Timothy Gega]

Fallen Tree leaf<o:p></o:p>

How quickly they forget<o:p></o:p>

I'm just a fallen tree leaf on any cool winter’s day.<o:p></o:p>

My only usefulness is when the afternoon Sun burns you.<o:p></o:p>

You only used me to hide under in the shadows of darkness.<o:p></o:p>

Then, when winter soon comes and I fall to the ground,<o:p></o:p>

You forget what I did for you as you walk all over me.<o:p></o:p>

The only sound that you choose to hear from me<o:p></o:p>

Is the crunch of the leaves under your foot.<o:p></o:p>

But they say, pay no mind to the fallen leaf<o:p></o:p>

Because the Gardener comes in the morning.<o:p></o:p>

He can blow me away with his powerful machines,<o:p></o:p>

put me in a sack and cart me off to the disposal site.<o:p></o:p>

Then once again you can admire your pretty green lawn.<o:p></o:p>

How quickly they forget.<o:p></o:p>

Very interesting poem. I am one of those people who try to thank the trees or the wind for cooling me on a warm day and vice versa. Thanks for putting this into words. Nice.:thumbsup:
