The Rustling of a Leaf..

Step not on me, I am here, alive

Recounting the days of my wonderful life

I opened my eyes when the world was dark

Adding my infant green to the park

Energized by the sunlight, I grew

and made friends with the drops of dew.

Trembled under many fluttering wings

and wounded with umpteen stings.

I knew no world, but my mother,

driven to death by your brother

Now, alone I am, dying on this path,

Whispering to you, the tales of my past.

Here is my message to you all,

there is not enough green in the world,

Don't let our race wither away,

Let us grow together from today!
