“A soft, tender leaf fell off the branch of a tree. I picked it up—it looked at me, as if to whisper; “How did I grow? How did I dance with wind and breeze, Play with birds, and laugh with fellow leaves?” How much had it endured—rain, storms, blazing sun, Noisy roads and shivery winter nights? What were its favourite tastes, its dearest friends, The family that cradled it? None could help it to stay a little longer. At last, it was time to say goodbye. I held it with all the care my hands could offer. It smiled, resting in my palm— Not an end, but a journey to a new universe, Eager to taste fresh wonders. Yet I could not let it go. I restored it, a tiny, radiant fragment of nature, A messenger of joy and love. I gazed once more, and it glimmered quietly, A universe held in a single leaf.”
