Hanging on the branches <br />Swinging with the wind <br /> <br />I had many pals <br />All so pretty as me <br /> <br />We were a happy family <br />Of brother leaves, sister fruits <br /> <br />With our mother tree <br />And the father root <br /> <br />One day our rival storm came by <br />And created a disaster so hurtful <br /> <br />I was separated from my family <br />And felt it was the end of my world <br /> <br />I floated in a large river <br />Moving with the speed of water <br /> <br />Then I felt someone on my back <br />And it was a little ant <br /> <br />We became great buddies <br />And my life was again filled in with a ray of hope <br /> <br />As they say that life goes on <br />I consoled myself and went on and on....<br /><br />Kavitha Krishnamurthy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/autobiography-of-a-leaf/
