The flower bed was dying
beauty of the summer passed
fall was rudely rushing in
with the first cold winter blast.
A large bare spot existed
where beauty was on display
but in the very center
a maple leaf came to lay.
It displayed its bright color
like a coat that was just bought
thinking it could fill the void
of this once so pretty spot.
Did it have that spot in mind
as it departed the tree
or was it just excited
because at last it was free?
What did that flower bed think?
I wonder just what it said
when it watched that leaf settle
in its brand new winter bed.
When time comes for you to move
to a location brand new
will you bring a new beauty
that will improve the old view?
Fill your life with self-less love
helping those who are in need
by replacing ugliness
and setting all beauty free.
