Wilting Leaves

When I was young,

My mother spoke to me in a foregin tongue.

 

I argued, stating the roots of a tree, kept from being free.

Told me that quite often,

Said my bark would never soften.

 

Not until my leaves started falling,

Did I start recalling,

Although my leaves wilt

Rapidly from my guilt.

 

Time will aid the rebirth

Of all made, grown from earth.

Hope should never wither

As rapture will hither.
