Changing of the Leaves

The days were unnumbered, nobody cared,

Once a child I had nothing to fear,

The years that passed were something I had beared,

My life is something that I will hold dear,

"No longer a child," I told myself,

My father had left me at the mountain,

My father's proudness was told by himself,

My tears could have come out like a fountain,

While this was one of many instances,

Instances where I wish I was still young,

I wish life had given me more chances,

I was speaking my heart without a tongue,

While there were many times I felt older,

This one weighs in my heart's open folder.
