Leaves Under Water

Leaves under water
As infants tears
Under mother's wings.

Sincere feelings
Of youth raised
In nature's care.

Weathered beaten
Young, down trodden
Unsightly, forgotten.

Leaves under water
As infants tears
Or forgotten rags.

Hurt and crying
Dreadfully implying
Pain and suffering.

As leaves under water
Washing under cold waves
To finally, drown in their grave.

Leaves under water
As infants tears
Are mother’s worst fear.
