What the leaves said

I think Autumn is telling me

Something I won’t forget:

That I might also die tomorrow

But can die without regret.

Enjoy the last of the sun, it says,

Laugh when you’re caught in the rain

Always keep your heart open

To the love, the joy and the pain.

Live with a generous heart

Offer ears to the lonely man

Healing to the one who is broken,

An arm to the one who can’t stand.

When you decide to speak

Let love guide everything you say;

Do not wait another minute

Because tomorrow could be today.

The falling leaves are dancing

To music without a sound

Telling me to dance

Before I hit the ground.
