I Am The Last Leaf
All those I loved are gone now,
I watched them fall one by one.
I cried as each flew away, far down
heard their shouts call to me, 'come!'
All of us born budding blossoms,
A few were older, it's true.
A few were older, it's true.
Our green was fine and strong then,
The colors in time changed hue.
But our lives were fun while they lasted.
We flourished under sunshine above.
We danced in spring breezes laughing,
we drank up the rain like love!
We basked under insect-feet dancing,
listened to bird whisper songs.
We curled and glimmered and wondered,
when fire-flies blinked the night long.
I don't want to stop so I hold on...
tight to all I have known.
But I know that soon I'll surrender,
let go, join the others, go home..............
