A poem about the brevity of life.
I am one leaf upon the tree,
there are a million more like me.
Too soon the frost will cut me down...
to lie upon the cold, hard ground.

The cold, twin-edged blade of Death
will chill my soul, retard my breath.
The question here, from what I see,
will anyone remember me?
