Leaves


When you close your eyes and dream,
what is it that you see?
I know your heart is big,
your aspirations wild,
your mind clouded with timidity.
You weren’t made to be afraid -
you were made to live
the life you have been given! 
If you laid down your life
for someone that you loved
you’d want them to live freely -
without guilt,
without fear;
you’d want them to live generously,
to do the things they dream of.
One day you will be gone,
there’s no avoiding death.
So do it before you’re blown away, 

like leaves in a windstorm.
