Sapling

She was better than me
With uncommon care and compassion for all
She planted a tree
In the late summer grass that foreshadowed the fall
She set off from her home
Sealing her promise with a kiss and a wave
How could she have known
The people she left there would suddenly slip away
Falling like leaves from the fresh sapling trees by her room
Falling like leaves from the fresh sapling trees by her room
The plans that she made
Shattered and scattered by the winds that blew through
How her dreams start to fade
When the ground that you've stood on is crumbling under you
I saw her today
A hard smile she gave me to shield off the pain
I had much more to say
But silently watched her go back to the train
A wandering form
Walking through life like she's treading on coals
How to account for the storm
That passes by many but lands on a few poor souls
Falling like leaves from the fresh sapling trees by her room
Falling like leaves from the fresh sapling trees by her room
Falling like leaves from the fresh sapling trees by her room
