Fallen Leaves

Fallen leaves (Stock Photo)

Forlornly they lie beneath the trees

Fallen leaves that have broken free

Freedom that is so deceiving

For death is beckoning.

Shattered dreams are like dead leaves

Treasures that have been stolen by marauding thieves

When hopelessness rears its ugly head

You may wish you are dead.

Like new leaves that slowly emerge

A strong will is difficult to submerge

So don’t lose all your hope

With persistence you will be able to cope.
