Jo

Imagine the life of a leaf.
We’ll call her Jo
She starts life as a bud
On her fragile world - the thin branch.

Jo grows into a green leaf
She slowly grows big and
Wrinkles with veins.

Jo changes from green to yellow
Yellow to orange and then red and brown
We say poor old Jo dried up an died

But eventually she falls from her world
She passes to the afterlife
A short life , never sad
We could only dream of a life like a leaf

Jo forever lives on like the wind
