The leaves fall and rise again, thereby giving a message to man.
THE MESSAGE OF LEAVES


Summer, autumn, winter, summer;
Leaves grow, drop and again flutter.
What is the message they utter?
They say to man, “Listen Brother,

Why should you mourn if someone dies?
Why indulge in vain wails and cries?
You shed many a tear that dries
Your mind this secret never spies:

That those who come here have to go.
One day they have, to nature, bow.
Away in the wind we too blow
But once more in the spring we show”.
